Adoramus.

whose humanity is divine ; who for our salvation did come 
into the world and take our nature upon Him.

MORNING AND EVENING SERVICE 



He endured temptation even to the passion of the cross. He 
overcame the hells, and so delivered man. He glorified his 
humanity by uniting- it with the divinity of which it was be- 
gotten ; so He became the Eedeemer of the world, without 
whom no mortal can be saved. 

And they are saved who believe in Him and keep the com- 
mandments of His Word: this is His commandment, that we 
love one another as He has loved us. Amen. 



i. 

I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the 
land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have 
no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any 
graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven 
above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 
under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, 
nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the 
third and fourth generation of them that hate me ; and show- 
ing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my 
commandments. 

II. 

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain : 
for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name 
in vain. 

III. 

Remember the Sabbath-day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt 
thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the 
Sabbath of the Lord thy God : in it thou shalt not do any 
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, 
nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is 
within thy gates : for in six days the Lord made heaven and 

34 



FOR CHAPELS AND HOUSEHOLDS. 



earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh 
day : wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath-clay, and hal- 
lowed it. 

IV. 

Honor thy father and thy mother ; that thy days may be 
long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 

V. 

Thou shalt not kill. 

VI. 

Thou shalt not commit adultery. 

VII. 

Thou shalt not steal. 

VIII. 

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 
IX. 

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house. 

X. 

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-ser- 
vant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any- 
thing that is thy neighbor's. *

At Anniversaries and Public Exhibitions. 

O Lord God, our Saviour Jesus Christ, who art the Light 
and Life of all living, and the eternal wisdom which was 
before all worlds : we implore Thy blessing upon the institu- 
tion in whose name we are met together ; upon its pupils and

its instructors; upon the labors, they are pursuing, and the 
exercises for which we are assembled : beseeching Thee that 
under Thy merciful guidance and aid the efforts of this school 
[or college] may ever tend to the promotion of Christian learn- 
ing and piety, to the better service of man to his neighbor, 
and so to the extension of Thy kingdom on earth and in 
heaven ; to whom be all the glory and thanksgiving. Amen. 
Our Father, etc. 



Qxnt&tx at (£>U$t of ®m\x. 

O Lord, Heavenly Father, the True and only Light of 
every soul, the giver of all knowledge, and of every good and 
perfect gift, accept our humble thanks and praise for all Thy 
mercies towards us in the term [or year] that is now ended. 
We thank Thee for Thy protecting care by night and day ; 
for deliverance from peril, sickness, and evils of body and 
soul ; for our success in study ; for all the useful knowledge 
we have acquired, and especially for the knowledge of Thee, 
our Divine Maker and loving Saviour, revealed to us in Thy 
Holy Word ; for all the holy affections and good aspirations 
Thou hast given into our hearts, and for the strength Thou 
hast given us to resist the temptations which have assailed us, 
and to remain true to Thee, our Divine Master, and to the 
dictates of our consciences. Keep us mindful, O Lord, amid 
the perils, changes, and temptations of our lot, of our bounden 
duty to Thee, of the sacred vows of our Baptism, of the end 
for which Thou hast created us, and the right use we should 
make of all the privileges we here enjoy: that we may live 
only to serve Thee in serving our fellow-man, and remain 
Thine own here and in the world to come, through Thy mercy, 
O Lover and Saviour of all, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Our Father, etc.

PSALM 1. 

BLESSED is the man that 
walketh not in the counsel 
of the ungodly, nor standeth in 
the way of sinners : nor sitteth 
in the seat of the scornful. 

2 But his delight is in the 
law of the Lord: and in his 
law doth he meditate day and 
night 

3 And he shall be like a tree 
planted by the rivers of water, 
that bringeth forth his fruit in 
season: his leaf also shall not 
wither; and whatsoever he 
doeth shall prosper. 

4 The ungodly are not so: 
but are like the chafl' which the 
wind driveth away. 

5 Therefore the ungodly shall 
not stand in the judgment: nor 
sinners in the congregation of 
the righteous. 

6 For the Lord knoweth the 
way of the righteous : but the 
way of the ungodly shall perish. 

PSALM 2. 

WHY do the heathen rage : 
and the people imagine a 
vain thing? 

2 The kings of the earth set 
themselves, and the rulers take 



counsel together: against the 
Lord, and against his Anointed, 
saying, 

3 Let. us break their bands 
asunder: and cast away their 
cords from us. 

4 He that sitteth in the heav- 
ens shall laugh : the Lord shall 
have them in derision. 

5 Then shall he speak unto 
them in his wrath : and vex 
them in his sore displeasure. 

6 Yet have I set my King: 
upon my holy hill of Zion. 

7 I will declare the decree, 
the Lord hath said unto me: 
Thou art my Son, this day have 
I begotten thee. 

8 Ask of me, and I shall give 
thee the heathen for thine in- 
heritance: and the uttermost 
parts of the earth for thy pos- 
session. 

9 Thou shalt break them with 
a rod of iron: thou shalt dash 
them in pieces like a potter's 
vessel. 

10 Be wise now therefore, 0 
ye kings: be instructed, ye 
judges of the earth. 

11 Serve the Lord with fear: 
and rejoice with trembling. 

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be 
angry, and ye perish from the 
way, when his wrath is kindled

that put their trust in him. 

PSALM 3. 

LORD, how are they increased 
that trouble me : many are 
they that rise up against me. 

2 Many there be which say 
of my soul: There is no help 
for him in God. 

3 But thou, 0 Lord, art a 
shield for me : my glory, and 
the lifter up of mine head. 

4 I cried unto the Lord with 
my voice : and he heard me out 
of his holy hill. 

5 I laid me down and slept: 
I awaked, for the Lord sustained 
me. 

6 I will not be afraid of ten 
thousands of people: that have 
set themselves against me round 
about. 

7 Arise, 0 Lord, save me, 0 
my God : for thou hast smitten 
all mine enemies upon the cheek 
bone, thou hast broken the teeth 
of the ungodly. 

8 Salvation belongeth unto 
the Lord : thy blessing is upon 
thy people. 

PSALM 4. 

HEAR me when I call, 0 God 
of my righteousness : thou 
hast enlarged me when I was in 
distress, have mercy upon me, 
and hear my prayer. 

2 0 ye sons of men, how long 
will ye turn my glory into 
shame : how long will ye love 
vanity, and seek after leasing? 

3 But know that the Lord 
hath set apart him that is godly 
for himself: the Lord will hear 
when I call unto him. 



4 Stand in awe, and sin not: 
commune with your own heart 
upon your bed, and be still. 

5 Offer the sacrifices of right- 
eousness : and put your trust in 
the Lord. 

6 There be many that say, 
Who will shew us any good: 
Lord, lift thou up the light of 
thy countenance upon us. 

7 Thou hast put gladness in 
my heart: more than in the 
time that their corn and their 
wine increased. 

8 I will both lay me down in 
peace and sleep : for thou, Lord, 
only makest me dwell in safety. 

PSALM 5. 

GIVE ear to my words, 0 Lord : 
consider my meditation. 

2 Hearken unto the voice of 
my cry, my King, and my God: 
for unto thee will I pray. 

3 My voice shalt thou hear in 
the morning, 0 Lord: in the 
morning will I direct my prayer 
unto thee, and will look up. 

4 For thou art not a God that 
hath pleasure in wickedness : 
neither shall evil dwell with 
thee. 

5 The foolish shall not stand 
in thy sight: thou hatest all 
workers of iniquity. 

6 Thou shalt destroy them 
that speak leasing : the Lord 
will abhor the bloody and de- 
ceitful man. 

7 But as for me, I will come 
into thy house in the multitude 
of thy mercy : and in thy fear 
will I worship toward thy holy 
temple.

righteousness because of mine

enemies: make thy way straight 
before my face. 

9 For there is no faithfulness 
in their mouth, their inward 
part is very wickedness : their 
throat is an open sepulchre, they 
flatter with their tongue. 

10 Destroy thou them, 0 God, 
let them fall by their own coun- 
sels : cast them out in the mul- 
titude of their transgressions, 
for they have rebelled against 
thee. 

11 But let all those that put 
their trust in thee rejoice, let 
them ever shout for joy, because 
thou defendest them: let them 
also that love thy name be joy- 
ful in thee. 

12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless 
the righteous : with favor wilt 
thou compass him as with a 
shield.

PSALM 6. 

0LORD, rebuke me not in 
thine anger: neither chas- 
ten me in thy hot displeasure. 

2 Have mercy upon me, 0 
Lord, for I am weak: 0 Lord, 
heal me, for my bones are vexed. 

3 My soul is also sore vexed : 
but thou, 0 Lord, how long? 

4 Return, 0 Lord, deliver my 
soul : oh save me for thy mer- 
cies' sake. 

5 For in death there is no re- 
membrance of thee: in the grave 
who shall give thee thanks ? 

6 I am weary with my groan- 
ing: all the night make I my 
bed to swim, I water my couch 
with my tears. 



7 Mine eye is consumed be- 
cause of grief: it waxeth old 
because of all mine enemies. 

8 Depart from me, all ye 
workers of iniquity : for the 
Lord hath heard the voice of my 
weeping. 

9 The Lord hath heard my 
supplication : the Lord will re- 
ceive my prayer. 

10. Let all mine enemies be 
ashamed and sore vexed : let 
them return and be ashamed 
suddenly. 

PSALM 7. 

0LORD my God, in thee do I 
put my trust : save me from 
all them that persecute me, and 
deliver me : 

2 Lest he tear my soul like a 
lion, rending it in pieces : while 
there is none to deliver. 

3 0 Lord my God, if I have 
done this: if there be iniquity 
in my hands; 

4 If I have rewarded evil 
unto him that was at peace with 
me : (yea, I have delivered him 
that without cause is mine en- 
emy;) 

5 Let the enemy persecute my 
soul, and take it: yea, let him 
tread down my life upon the 
earth, and lay mine honor in 
the dust. 

6 Arise, 0 Lord, in thine an- 
ger, lift up thyself because of 
the rage of mine enemies: and 
awake for me to the judgment 
that thou hast commanded. 

7 So shall the congregation 
of the people compass thee 
about: for their sakes therefore 
return thou on high.

people, judge me. 0 Lord: ac- 
cording to my righteousness, 
and according to mine integrity 
that is in me. 

9 Oh let the wickedness of 
the wicked come to an end, but 
establish the just: for the right- 
eous God trieth the hearts and 
reins. 

10 My defence is of God: 
which saveth the upright in 
heart. 

11 God judgeth the righteous: 
and God is angry with the 
wicked every day. 

12 If he turn not. he will 
whet his sword : he hath bent 
his bow, and made it ready. 

13 He hath also prepared for 
him the instruments of death : 
he ordaineth his arrows against 
the persecutors. 

14 Behold, he travaileth with 
iniquity: and hath conceived 
mischief, and brought forth 
falsehood. 

15 He made a pit, and digged 
it: and is fallen into the ditch 
which he made. 

16 His mischief shall return 
upon his own head : and his 
violent dealing shall come down 
upon his own pate. 

17 I will praise the Lord ac- 
cording to his righteousness : 
and will sing praise to the name 
of the Lord most high. 

PSALM 8. 

0LORD our Lord, how excel- 
lent is thy name in all the 
earth : who hast set thy glory 
above the heavens. 

2 Out of the mouth of babes 
and sucklings hast thou or- 
dained strength because of thy 



enemies: that thou mightest 

still the enemy and the avenger. 

3 When I consider thy heav- 
ens, the work of thy fingers: the 
moon and the stars, which thou 
hast ordained; 

.4 What is man. that thou art 
mindful of him : and the son ol 
man. that thou visitest him? 

5 For thou hast made him a 
little lower than the angels: 
and hast crowned him with 
glory and honor. 

6 Thou madest him to have 
dominion over the works of thy 
hands : thou hast put all things 
under his feet : 

7 All sheep and oxen: yea, 
and the beasts of the field; 

8 The fowl of the air, and the 
fish of the sea : and whatsoever 
passeth through the paths of the 
seas. 

9 0 Lord our Lord : how ex- 
cellent is thy name in all the 
earth ! 



PSALM 9. 

I WILL praise thee. 0 Lord, 
with my whole heart: I will 
shew forth all thy marvellous 
works. 

2 I will be glad and rejoice 
in thee: I will sing praise to 
thy name, 0 thou Most High. 

3 When mine enemies are 
turned back : they shall fall 
and perish at thy presence. 

4 For thou hast maintained 
my right and my cause: thou 
satest in the throne judging 
right. 

5 Thou hast rebuked the 
heathen, thou hast destroyed

the wicked: thou hast put out 
their name for ever and ever. 

6 0 thou enemy, destructions 
are come to a perpetual end: 
and thou hast destroyed cities, 
their memorial is perished with 
them. 

7 But the Lord shall endure 
for ever: he hath prepared his 
throne for judgment. 

8 And he shall judge the 
world in righteousness: he shall 
minister judgment to the peo- 
ple in uprightness. 

9 The Lord also will be a 
refuge for the oppressed : a 
refuge in times of trouble. 

10 And they that know thy 
name will put their trust in 
thee: for thou, Lord, hast not 
forsaken them that seek thee. 

11 Sing praises to the Lord, 
which dwelleth in Zion: declare 
among the people his doings. 

12 When he maketh inquisi- 
tion for blood, he remembereth 
them : he forgetteth not the cry 
of the humble. 

13 Have mercy upon me, 0 
Lord, consider my trouble which 
I suffer of them that hate me : 
thou that liftest me up from the 
gates of death : 

14 That I may shew forth all 
thy praise in the gates of the 
daughter of Zion : I will rejoice 
in thy salvation. 

15 The heathen are sunk 
down in the pit that they made: 
in the net which they hid is 
their own foot taken. 

16 The Lord is known by the 
judgment which he executeth : 
the wicked is snared in the 
work of his own hands. 

17 The wicked shall be turned 



into hell: and all the nations 
that forget God. 

18 For the needy shall not 
always be forgotten : the expec- 
tation of the poor shall not per- 
ish for ever. 

19 Arise, 0 Lord, let not man 
prevail : let the heathen be 
judged in thy sight. 

20 Put them in fear, 0 Lord : 
that the nations may know 
themselves to be but men. 

PSALM 10. 

WHY standest thou afar off, 
0 Lord: why hidest thou 
thyself in times of trouble? 

2 The wicked in his pride 
doth persecute the poor: let 
them be taken in the devices 
that they have imagined. 

3 For the wicked boasteth of 
his heart's desire: and blesseth 
the covetous, whom the Lord ab- 
horreth. 

4 The wicked, through the 
pride of his countenance, will 
not seek after God : God is not 
in all his thoughts. 

5 His ways are always griev- 
ous, thy judgments are far above 
out of his sight : as for all his 
enemies, he puffeth at them. 

6 He hath said in his heart, 
I shall not be moved : for I 
shall never be in adversity. 

7 His mouth is full of cursing 
and deceit and fraud: under his 
tongue is mischief and vanity. 

8 He sitteth in the lurking 
places of the villages : in the 
secret places doth he murder the 
innocent, his eyes are privily 
set against the poor.

catch the poor, when he draweth

10 He croucheth, and hum- 
bleth himself : that the poor 
may fall by his strong ones. 

11 He hath said in his heart, 
God hath forgotten : he hideth 
his face, he will never see it. 

12 Arise, 0 Lord. 0 God, lift 
up thine hand: forget not the 
humble. 

13 Wherefore doth the wicked 
contemn God: he hath said in his 
heart, Thou wilt not require it. 

14 Thou hast seen it, for thou 
beholdest mischief and spite, to 
requite it with thy hand: the 
poor committeth himself unto 
thee, thou art the helper of the 
fatherless. 

15 Break thou the arm of the 
wicked and the evil man: seek 
out his wickedness till thou find 
none. 

16 The Lord is King for ever 
and ever: the heathen are per- 
ished out of his land. 

17 Lord, thou hast heard the 
desire of the humble : thou wilt 
prepare their heart, thou wilt 
cause thine ear to hear: 

18 To judge the fatherless 
and the oppressed : that the man 
of the earth may no more op-

IN the Lord put I my trust : 
how say ye to my soul, Flee 
as a bird to your mountain? 

2 For, lo, the wicked bend 
their bow, they make ready 
their arrow upon the string: 
that they may privily shoot at 
the upright in heart. 



3 If the foundations be de- 
stroyed: what can the righteous 
do? 

4 The Lord is in his holy 
temple, the Lord's throne is in 
heaven: his eyes behold, his 
eyelids try, the children of men. 

5 The Lord trieth the right- 
eous: but the wicked and him 
that loveth violence his soul 
hateth. 

6 Upon the wicked he shall 
rain snares, fire and brimstone, 
and a horrible tempest: this 
shall be the portion of their cup. 

7 For the righteous Lord 
loveth righteousness : his coun- 
tenance doth behold the upright. 

PSALM 12. 

HELP, Lord, for the godly man 
ceaseth : for the faithful fail 
from among the children of men. 

2 They speak vanity every 
one with his neighbor : with 
flattering lips and with a double 
heart do they speak. 

3 The Lord shall cut off all 
flattering lips : and the tongue 
that speaketh proud things : 

4 Who have said, With our 
tongue will we prevail : our lips 
are our own, who is lord over us? 

5 For the oppression of the 
poor, for the sighing of the 
needy, now will I arise, saith 
the Lord : I will set him in 
safety from him that puffeth at 
him. 

G The words of the Lord are 
pure words: as silver tried in 
a furnace of earth, purified seven 
times.

PSALM 13. 

HOW long wilt thou forget 
me, 0 Lord? for ever: how 
long wilt thou hide thy face 
from me? 

2 How long shall I take coun- 
sel in my soul, having sorrow 
in my heart daily: how long

over me? 

3 Consider and hear me, 0

5 But I have trusted in thy

in thy salvation. 

6 I will sing unto the Lord :

PSALM 14. 

THE fool hath said in his 
heart, There is no God : 
They are corrupt, they have 
done abominable works, there 
is none that doeth good. 

2 The Lord looked down from 
heaven upon the children of 
men: to see if there were any that 
did understand and seek God. 

3 They are all gone aside, 
they are all together become 
filthy : there is none that doeth 
good, no, not one. 



4 Have all the workers of in- 
iquity no knowledge : who eat 
up my people as they eat bread, 
and call not upon the Lord. 

5 There were they in great 
fear : for God is in the genera- 
tion of the righteous. 

6 Ye have shamed the coun-

Lord is his refuge. 

7 Oh that the salvation of Is-

speaketh the truth in his heart.

6 The lines are fallen unto

7 I will bless the Lord, who 
hath given me counsel : my

night seasons. 

8 I have set the Lord always 
before me : because he is at my 
right hand, I shall not be moved. 

9 Therefore my heart is glad, 
and my glory rejoiceth: my 
flesh also shall rest in hope. 

10 For thou wilt not leave my 
soul in hell: neither wilt thou 
suffer thine Holy One to see cor-

fullness of joy: at thy right 
hand there are pleasures for

PSALM 17. 

HEAR the right, 0 Lord, at- 
tend unto my cry : give 
ear unto my prayer, that goeth 
not out of feigned lips. 

2 Let my sentence come forth 
from thy presence : let thine 
eyes behold the things that are 
equal. 

3 Thou hast proved mine 



heart, thou hast visited me in 
the night, thou hast tried me, 
and shalt lind nothing: 1 am 
purposed that my mouth shall 
not transgress. 

4 Concerning the works of 
men, by the word of thy lips : I 
have kept me from the paths of 
the destroyer. 

5 Hold up my goings in thy 
paths : that my footsteps slip 
not.

thou wilt hear me, 0 God : in-

9 From the wicked that op-

and leave the rest of their sub-

15 As for me, I will behold 
thy face in righteousness : I 
shall be satisfied, when I awake, 
with thy likeness. 

PSALM 18. 

I WILL love thee : 0 Lord, my 
strength. 

2 The Lord is my rock, and 
my fortress, and my deliverer, 
my God, my strength, in whom 
I will trust: my buckler, and 
the horn of my salvation, and 
my high tower. 

8 I will call upon the Lord, 
who is worthy to be praised : so 
shall I be saved from mine ene- 
mies. 

4 The sorrows of death com- 
passed me : and the floods of 
ungodly men made me afraid. 

5 The sorrows of hell com- 
passed me about: the snares of 
death prevented me. 

6 In my distress I called upon 
the Lord, and cried unto my 
God : he heard my voice out of 
his temple, and my cry came 
before him, even into his ears. 

7 Then the earth shook and 
trembled : the foundations also 
of the hills moved and were 
shaken, because he was wroth. 

8 There went up a smoke out 
of his nostrils, and fire out of 
his mouth devoured : coals were 
kindled by it. 

9 He bowed the heavens also, 
and came down : and darkness 
was under his feet. 



10 And he rode upon a 
cherub, and did fly: yea, he did 
fly upon the wings of the wind 

11 He made darkness his se- 
cret place : his pavilion round 
about him were dark waters and 
thick clouds of the skies. 

12 At the brightness that was 
before him his thick clouds 
passed: hail stones and coals 
of fire. 

13 The Lord also thundered 
in the heavens, and the Highest 
gave his voice : hail stones and 
coals of fire. 

14 Yea, he sent out his ar- 
rows and scattered them : and 
he shot out lightnings and dis 
comfited them. 

15 Then the channels of 
waters were seen, and the 
foundations of the world were 
discovered at thy rebuke, 0 
Lord : at the blast of the breath 
of thy nostrils. 

16 He sent from above, he 
took me: he drew me out of 
many waters. 

17 He delivered me from my 
strong enemy, and from them 
which hated me : for they were 
too strong for me. 

18 They prevented me in the 
day of my calamity: but the 
Lord was my stay. 

19 He brought me forth also 
into a large place : he delivered 
me, because he delighted in me. 

20 The Lord rewarded me ac- 
cording to my righteousness : 
according to the cleanness of 
my hands hath he recompensed 
me. 

21 For I have kept the ways 
of the Lord: and have not wick- 
edly departed from my God.

22 For all his judgments 
were before me: and I did not 
put away his statutes from me. 

23 I was also upright before 
him : and I kept myself from 
mine iniquity. 

24 Therefore hath the Lord 
recompensed me according to 
my righteousness : according to 
the cleanness of my hands in 
his eyesight. 

25 With the merciful thou 
wilt shew thyself merciful : 
with an upright man thou wilt 
shew thyself upright; 

26 With the pure thou wilt 
shew thyself pure: with the 
froward thou wilt shew thyself 
froward. 

27 For thou wilt save the af- 
flicted people: but wilt bring 
down high looks. 

28 For thou wilt light my 
candle : the Lord my God will 
enlighten my darkness. 

29 For by thee I have run 
through a troop : and by my 
God have I leaped over a wall. 

30 As for God, his way is per- 
fect, the way of the Lord is 
tried: he is a buckler to all 
those that trust in him. 

31 For who is God save the 
Lord : or who is a rock save our

32 It is God that girdeth me

way perfect. 

33 He maketh my feet like 
hinds' feet: and setteth rue upon 
my high places. 

34 He teach eth my hands to 
war: so that a bow of steel is 
broken by mine arms. 

35 Thou hast also given me 
the shield of thy salvation : and 



thy right hand hath holden me 
up^ and thy gentleness hath 
made me great. 

36 Thou hast enlarged my 
steps under me: that my feet 
did not slip. 

37 I have pursued mine ene- 
mies, and overtaken them : 
neither did J turn again till 
they were consumed. 

38 I have wounded them that 
they were not able to rise : they 
are fallen under my feet. 

39 For thou hast girded me 
with strength unto the battle: 
thou hast subdued under me 
those that rose up against me. 

40 Thou hast also given me 
the necks of mine enemies: that 
I might destroy them that hate 
me. 

41 They cried, but there was 
none to save them : even unto 
the Lord, but he answered them 
not. 

42 Then did I beat them 
small as the dust before the 
wind : I did cast them out as 
the dirt in the streets. 

43 Thou hast delivered me 
from the strivings of the people, 
and thou hast made me the head 
of the heathen : a people whom 
I have not known shall serve 
me. 

44 As soon as they hear of 
me, they shall obey me : the 
strangers shall submit them- 
selves unto me. 

45 The strangers shall fade 
away : and be afraid out of their 
close places.

blessed be my Rock: and let the

thanks unto thee, 0 Lord,

testimony of the Lord is sure, 
making wise the simple. 

8 The statutes of the Lord 



are right, rejoicing the heart : 
the commandment of the Lord 
is pure, enlightening the eyes. 

9 The fear of the Lord is 
clean, enduring for ever: the 
judgments of the Lord are true

10 More to be desired are 
they than gold, yea, than much

errors : cleanse thou me from 
secret faults.

me : then shall I be upright, and 
I shall be innocent from the 
great transgression.

5 His glory is great in thy 
salvation: honor and majesty 
hast thou laid upon him.

most blessed for ever: thou hast 
made him exceeding glad with 
thy countenance. 

7 For the king trusteth in the 
Lord: and through the mercy of 
the Most High he shall not be

10 Their fruit shalt thou de- 
stroy from the earth: and their 
seed from among the children 
of men. 

11 For they intended evil 
against thee: they imagined a 
mischievous device, which they 
are not able to perform. 

12 Therefore shalt thou make 
them turn their back : when 
thou shalt make ready thine ar-

PSALM 26. 

JUDGE me, 0 Lord, for I have 
walked in mine integrity: I 
have trusted also in the Lord, 
therefore I shall not slide. 

2 Examine me, 0 Lord, and 
prove me : try my reins and my 
heart. 

3 For thy lovingkindness is 
before mine eyes : and I have 
walked in thy truth. 

4 I have not sat with vain 
persons: neither will I go in 
with dissemblers. 

5 I have hated the congrega- 
tion of evil doers : and will not 
sit with the wicked. 

6 I will wash mine hands in 
innocency : so will I compass 
thine altar, 0 Lord : 

7 That I may publish with 
the voice of thanksgiving : and 
tell of all thy wondrous works. 

8 Lord, I have loved the 
habitation of thy house : and 
the place where thine honor 
dwelleth. 

9 Gather not my soul with 
sinners : nor my life with bloody 
men : 

10 In whose hands is mis- 
chief : and their right hand is 
full of bribes. 

11 But as for me, I will walk 
in mine integrity: redeem me, 
and be merciful unto me. 

12 My foot standeth in an 
even place : in the congrega- 
tions will I bless the Lord.

THE Lord is my light and my 
salvation, whom shall I fear :

[Day 5. 



the Lord is the strength of my 
life, of whom shall I be afraid? 

2 When the wicked, even 
mine enemies and my foes, 
came upon me to eat up my 
flesh : they stumbled and fell. 

3 Though a host should en- 
camp against me, my heart shall 
not fear: though war should 
rise against me, in this will I be 
confident. 

4 One thing have I desired 
of the Lord, that will I seek 
after : that I may dwell in the 
house of the Lord all the days 
of my life, to behold the beauty 
of the Lord, and to inquire in 
his temple. 

5 For in the time of trouble 
he shall hide me in his pavilion: 
in the secret of his tabernacle 
shall he hide me, he shall set 
me upon a rock. 

6 And now shall mine head 
be lifted up above mine enemies 
round about me : therefore will 
I offer in his tabernacle sacri- 
fices of joy, I will sing, yea, I 
will sing praises unto the Lord. 

7 Hear, 0 Lord, when I cry 
with my voice : have mercy also 
upon me, and answer me. 

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye 
my face : my heart said unto thee, 
Thy face. Lord, will I seek. 

9 Hide not thy face far from 
me, put not thy servant away in 
anger : thou hast been my help, 
leave me not, neither forsake 
me, 0 God of my salvation. 

10 When my father and my 
mother forsake me : then the 
Lord will take me up. 

11 Teach me thy way, 0 Lord : 
and lead me in a plain path, be- 
cause of mine enemies. 



12 Deliver me not over unto 
the will of mine enemies : for 
false witnesses are risen up 
against me, and such as breathe 
out cruelty. 

13 I had fainted, unless I had 
believed to see the goodness of 
the Lord in the land of the 
living. 

14 Wait on the Lord, be of 
good courage, and he shall 
strengthen thine heart: wait, I 
say, on the Lord. 

PSALM 28. 

ITNTO thee will I cry, 0 Lord 
J my rock, be not silent to 
me : lest, if thou be silent to 
me, I become like them that go 
down into the pit. 

2 Hear the voice of my sup- 
plications, when I cry unto 
thee : when I lift up my hands 
toward thy holy oracle. 

3 Draw me not away with the 
wicked, and with the workers 
of iniquity: which speak peace 
to their neighbors, but mischief 
is in their hearts. 

4 Give them according to 
their deeds, and according to 
the wickedness of their en- 
deavors: give them after the 
work of their hands, render to 
them their desert. 

5 Because they regard not the 
works of the Lord, nor the op- 
eration of his hands: he shall 
destroy them, and not build 
them up. 

6 Blessed be the Lord: be- 
cause he hath heard the voice 
of my supplications. 

7 The Lord is my strength 
and my shield, my heart trusted 
in him, and I am helped : there-

his anointed. 

9 Save thy people, and bless 
thine inheritance: feed them 
also, and lift thein up for ever. 

PSALM 29. 

GIVE unto the Lord, 0 ye 
mighty : give unto the Lord 
glory and strength. 

2 Give unto the Lord the 
glory due unto his name : wor- 
ship the Lord in the beauty of 
holiness. 

3 The voice of the Lord is 
upon the waters : the God of 
glory thundereth, the Lord is 
upon many waters. 

4 The voice of the Lord is 
powerful : the voice of the Lord 
is full of majesty. 

5 The voice of the Lord 
breaketh the cedars: yea, the 
Lord breaketh the cedars of 
Lebanon. 

6 He maketh them also to 
skip like a calf: Lebanon and 
Sirion like a young unicorn. 

7 The voice of the Lord : di-

8 The voice of the Lord 
shaketh the wilderness : the 
Lord shaketh the wilderness of 
Kadesh. 

9 The voice of the Lord 
maketh the hinds to calve, and 
discovereth the forests : and in

of his glory.

PSALM 30. 

I WILL extol thee, 0 Lord, for 
thou hast lifted me up : and 
hast not made my foes to rejoice 
over me. 

2 0 Lord my God, I cried 
unto thee: and thou hast healed 
me. 

3 0 Lord, thou hast brought 
up my soul from the grave : thou 
hast kept me alive, that I should 
not go down to the pit. 

4 Sing unto the Lord, 0 ye 
saints of his : and give thanks 
at the remembrance of his holi- 
ness. 

5 For his anger endureth but 
a moment, in his favor is life: 
weeping may endure for a night, 
but joy cometh in the morning. 

6 And in my prosperity I 
said: I shall never be moved. 

7 Lord, by thy favor thou 
hast made my mountain to stand 
strong : thou didst hide thy face, 
and I was troubled. 

8 I cried to thee, 0 Lord : and 
unto the Lord I made supplica- 
tion. 

9 What profit is there in my 
blood, when I go down to the 
pit: shall the dust praise thee, 
shall it declare thy truth?

1 will give thanks unto thee for

PSALM 31. 

IN thee, 0 Lord, do I put my 
trust : let me never be 
ashamed, deliver me in thy 
righteousness. 

2 Bow down thine ear to me, 
deliver me speedily : be thou my 
strong rock, for a house of de- 
fense to save me. 

3 For thou art my rock and my 
fortress: therefore for thy name's 
sake lead me, and guide me. 

4 Pull me out of the net they 
have laid privily for me: for 
thou art my strength. 

5 Into thine hand I commit 
my spirit : thou hast redeemed 
me, 0 Lord God of truth. 

6 I have hated them that re- 
gard lying vanities : but I trust 
in the Lord. 

7 I will be glad and rejoice 
in thy mercy : for thou hast 
considered my trouble, thou hast 
known my soul in adversities; 

8 And hast not shut me up 
into the hand of the enemy : 
thou hast set my feet in a large 
room. 

9 Have mercy upon me, 0 
Lord, for I am in trouble : mine 
eye is consumed with grief, yea, 
my soul and my belly. 

10 For my life is spent with 
grief, and my years with sigh- 
ing: my strength faileth, be- 
cause of mine iniquity, and my 
bones are consumed. 



11 I was a reproach among 
all mine enemies, but especially 
among my neighbors, and a 
fear to mine acquaintance : they 
that did see me without fled 
from me. 

12 1 am forgotten as a dead 
man out of mind: I am like a 
broken vessel. 

13 For I have heard the slan- 
der of many, fear was on every 
side: while they took counsel 
together against me, they de- 
vised to take away my life. 

14 But I trusted in thee, 0 
Lord : I said, Thou art my God. 

15 My times are in thy hand : 
deliver me from the hand of 
mine enemies, and from them 
that persecute me. 

16 Make thy face to shine 
upon thy servant : save me for 
thy mercies' sake. 

17 Let me not be ashamed, 0 
Lord, for I have called upon 
thee : let the wicked be ashamed, 
and let them be silent in the 
grave. 

18 Let the lying lips be put 
to silence : which speak griev- 
ous things proudly and con- 
temptuously against the right- 
eous. 

19 Oh how great is thy good- 
ness, which thou hast laid up 
for them that fear thee : which 
thou hast wrought for them that 
trust in thee before the sons of 
men ! 

20 Thou shalt hide them in 
the secret of thy presence from

keep them secretly in a .pavilion

PSALM 32. 

BLESSED is he whose trans- 
gression is forgiven : whose 
sin is covered. 

2 Blessed is the man unto 
whom the Lord imputeth not in- 
iquity : and in whose spirit there 
is no guile. 

3 When I kept silence : my 
bones waxed old through my 
roaring all the day long. 

4 For day and night thy hand 
was heavy upon me : my moist- 
ure is turned into the drought 
of summer. 

5 I acknowledged my sin 
unto thee, and mine iniquity 
have I not hid: I said, I will 
confess my transgressions unto 
the Lord, and thou forgavest 
the iniquity of my sin. 

6 For this shall every one 
that is godly pray unto thee in 
a time when thou mayest be 
found: surely in the floods of 
great waters they shall not come 
nigh unto him. 

7 Thou art my hiding place, 
thou shalt preserve me from 



trouble: thou shalt compass me 
about with songs of deliverance. 

8 I will instruct thee and 
teach thee in the way which thou 
shalt go: I will guide thee with 
mine eye. 

9 Be not as the horse, or as 
the mule, which have no under- 
standing : whose mouth must be 
held in with bit and bridle, lest 
they come near unto thee. 

10 Many sorrows shall be to 
the wicked : but he that trust- 
eth in the Lord, mercy shall 
compass him about. 

11 Be glad in the Lord, and 
rejoice, ye righteous : and shout 
for joy, all ye that are upright

2 Praise the Lord with harp : 
sing unto him with the psaltery

3 Sing unto him a new song: 
play skilfully with a loud noise. 

4 For the word of the Lord is 
right : and all his works are 
done in truth. 

5 He loveth righteousness and 
judgment: the earth is full of

6 By the word of the Lord

18 Behold, the eye of the

buckler : and stand up for mine 
help. 

3 Draw out also the spear, 
and stop the way against them 
that persecute me : say unto my 
soul, I am thy salvation. 

4 Let them be confounded and 
put to shame that seek after my 
soul : let them be turned back

6 Let their way be dark and

hid for me their net in a pit : 
which without cause they have 
digged for my soul. 

8 Let destruction come upon

him that spoileth him?

things that I knew not. 

12 They rewarded me evil for 
good : to the spoiling of my soul. 

13 But as for me, when they 
were sick, my clothing was

with fasting, and my prayer re- 
turned into mine own bosom. 

14 I behaved myself as

heavily, as one that mourneth

wicked are cut off, thou shalt 
see it. 

35 I have seen the wicked in 
great power : and spreading 
himself like a green bay tree. 

36 Yet he passed away, and 
lo, he was not : yea, I sought 
him, but he could not be found. 

37 Mark the perfect man, and 



behold the upright : for the end 

of that man is peace. 

38 But the transgressors shall 
be destroyed together: the end 
of the wicked shall be cut off. 

39 But the salvation of the 
righteous is of the Lord : he is 
their strength in the time of 
trouble. 

40 And the Lord shall help 
them, and deliver them : he shall 
deliver them from the wicked, 
and save them, because they 
trust in him.

PSALM 38. 

0LORD, rebuke me not in thy 
wrath: neither chasten me 
in thy hot displeasure. 

2 For thine arrows stick fast 
in me : and thy hand presseth 
me sore. 

3 There is no soundness in 
my flesh because of thine anger : 
neither is there any rest in my 
bones because of my sin. 

4 For mine iniquities are 
gone over mine head: as a 
heavy burden they are too 
heavy for me. 

5 My wounds stink and are 
corrupt: because of my foolish- 
ness. 

6 I am troubled, I am bowed 
down greatly : I go mourning 
all the day long. 

7 For my loins are filled with 
a loathsome disease: and there 
is no soundness in my flesh. 

8 I am feeble and sore 
broken : I have roared by reason 
of the disquietness of my heart.

hid from thee. 

10 My heart panteth, my 
strength faileth me : as for the 
light of mine eyes, it also is 
gone from me. 

11 My lovers and my friends 
stand aloof from my sore : and 
my kinsmen stand afar off. 

12 They also that seek after 
my life lay snares for me : and 
they that seek my hurt speak 
mischievous things, and im- 
agine deceits all the day long. 

13 But I, as a deaf man, 
heard not : and I was as a dumb 
man that openeth not his mouth. 

14 Thus I was as a man that 
heareth not: and in whose 
mouth are no reproofs. 

15 For in thee, 0 Lord, do I 
hope : thou wilt hear, 0 Lord 
my God. 

16 For I said, Hear me, lest 
otherwise they should rejoice 
over me : when my foot slip- 
peth, they magnify themselves 
against me. 

17 For I am ready to halt: 
and my sorrow is continually 
before me. 

18 For I will declare mine 
iniquity : I will be sorry for my 
Bin. 

19 But mine enemies are 
lively, and they are strong : and 
they that hate me wrongfully 
are multiplied. 

20 They also that render evil 
for good are mine adversaries : 
because I follow the thing that 
good is. 

21 Forsake me not, 0 Lord : 
0 my God, be not far from me. 

22 Make haste to help me: 0 
Lord my salvation. 



PSALM 39. 
T SAID, I will take heed to my 
X ways, that I sin not with my 
tongue : I will keep my mouth 
with a bridle, while the wicked 
is before me. 

2 I was dumb with silence, I 
held my peace, even from good : 
and my sorrow was stirred. 

3 My heart was hot within 
me, while I was musing the fire 
burned : then spake I with my 
tongue, 

4 Lord, make me to know 
mine end, and the measure of 
my days, what it is : that I may 
know how frail I am. 

5 Behold, thou hast made my 
days as a hand-breadth, and 
mine age is as nothing before 
thee : verily, every man at his 
best state is altogether vanity. 

6 Surely every man walketh 
in a vain shew, surely they are 
disquieted in vain: he heapeth 
up riches, and knoweth not who 
shall gather them. 

7 And now, Lord, what wait 
I for: my hope is in thee. 

8 Deliver me from all my 
transgressions : make me not 
the reproach of the foolish. 

9 I was dumb. I opened not 
my mouth : because thou didst it. 

10 Remove thy stroke away 
from me: I am consumed by the 
blow of thine hand. 

11 When thou with rebukes 
dost correct man for iniquity, 
thou makest his beauty to con- 
sume away like a moth : surely 
every man is vanity. 

12 Hear my prayer, 0 Lord, 
and give ear unto my cry, hold 
not thy peace at my tears: for

I am a stranger with thee, and a 
sojourner, as all my fathers were. 

13 0 spare me, that I may 
recover strength: before I go 
hence, and be no more. 

PSALM 40. 

I WAITED patiently for the 
Lord : and he inclined unto 
me, and heard my cry. 

2 He brought me up also out 
of a horrible pit, out of the 
miry clay: and set my feet upon a 
rock, and established my goings. 

3 And he hath put a new 
song in my mouth, even praise 
unto our God : many shall see 
it, and fear, and shall trust in 
the Lord. 

4 Blessed is that man that 
maketh the Lord his trust: and 
respecteth not the proud, nor 
such as turn aside to lies. 

5 Many, 0 Lord my God, are 
thy wonderful works which thou 
hast done, and thy thoughts 
which are to usward : they can 
not be reckoned up in order 
unto thee, if I would declare 
and speak of them, they are 
more than can be numbered. 

6 Sacrifice and offering thou 
didst not desire, mine ears hast 
thou opened : burnt offering and 
sin offering hast thou not re- 
quired. 

f 7 Then said I, Lo, I come : in 
the volume of the book it is 
written of me, 

8 I delight to do thy will, 0 
my God : yea, thy law is within 
my heart. 

9 I have preached righteous- 
ness in the great congregation : 
lo, I have not refrained my lips, 
0 Lord thou knowest. 



10 I have not hid thy right- 
eousness within my heart, I 
have declared thy faithfulness 
and thy salvation : I have not 
concealed thy lovingkindness 
and thy truth from the great 
congregation. 

11 Withhold not thou thy 
tender mercies from me, 0 Lord : 
let thy lovingkindness and thy 
truth continually preserve me. 

12 For innumerable evils 
have compassed me about, mine 
iniquities have taken hold upon 
me, so that I am not able to look 
up : they are more than the 
hairs of mine head, therefore 
my heart faileth me. 

13 Be pleased, 0 Lord, to de- 
liver me : 0 Lord, make haste 
to help me. 

14 Let them be ashamed and 
confounded together that seek 
after my soul to destroy it: let 
them be driven backward and 
put to shame that wish me eviL 

15 Let them be desolate for a 
reward of their shame : that say 
unto me, Aha, aha. 

16 Let all those that seek 
thee rejoice and be glad in thee : 
let such as love thy salvation 
say continually, The Lord be 
magnified. 

17 But I am poor and needy, 
yet the Lord thinketh upon me : 
thou art my help and my de- 
liverer, make no tarrying, 0 my

3 The Lord will strengthen 
him upon the bed of languish-

4 I said, Lord, be merciful

have sinned against thee. 

5 Mine enemies speak evil of

name perish? 

6 And if he come to see me, 
he speaketh vanity, his heart 
gathereth iniquity to itself : 
when he goeth abroad, he tell-

10 But thou, 0 Lord, be mer-

11 By this I know that thou 
favorest me: because mine 
enemy doth not triumph over 
me.

PSALM 42. 

AS the hart panteth after the 
water brooks: so panteth 
my soul after thee, 0 God. 

2 My soul thirsteth for God, 
for the living God: when shall 
I come and appear before God? 

3 My tears have been my 
meat day and night : while they 
continually say unto me, Where 
is thy God ? 

4 When I remember these 
things, I pour out my soul in 
me: for I had gone with the 
multitude, I went with them to 
the house of God, with the voice 
of joy and praise, with a multi- 
tude that kept holy day. 

5 Why art thou cast down, 0 
my soul, and why art thou dis-

for the help of his counte-

all thy waves and thy billows 
are gone over me.

his lovingkindness in the day-

shall be with me, and my prayer 
unto the God of my life.

PSALM 44. 

WE have heard with our ears, 
0 God, our fathers have 
told us : what work thou didst 
in their days, in the times of old. 

2 How thou didst drive out 
the heathen with thy hand, and 
plantedst them: how thou didst 
afflict the people and cast them 
out. 



3 For they got not the land 
in possession by their own 
sword, neither did their own 
arm save them: but thy right 
hand, and thine arm, and the 
light of thy countenance, be- 
cause thou hadst a favor unto 
them. 

4 Thou art my King, 0 God: 
command deliverances for Ja- 
cob. 

5 Through thee will we push 
down our enemies : through thy 
name will we tread them under 
that rise up against us. 

6 For I will not trust in my 
bow : neither shall my sword 
save me. 

7 But thou hast saved us from 
our enemies : and hast put them 
to shame that hated us. 

8 In God we boast all the day 
long: and praise thy name for 
ever. 

9 But thou hast cast off, and 
put us to shame : and goest not 
forth with our armies. 

10 Thou makest us to turn 
back from the enemy : and they 
which hate us spoil for them- 
selves. 

11 Thou hast given us like 
sheep appointed for meat: and 
hast scattered us among the 
heathen. 

12 Thou sellest thy people for 
nought: and dost not increase 
thy wealth by their price. 

13 Thou makest us a reproach 
to our neighbors : a scorn and a 
derision to them that are round 
about us.

among the heathen : a shaking 
of the head among the people.

reproacheth and blasphemeth: 
by reason of the enemy and 
avenger. 

17 All this is come upon ns, 
yet have we not forgotten thee : 
neither have we dealt falsely 
in thy covenant. 

18 Our heart is not turned 
back : neither have our steps 
declined from thy way; 

19 Though thou hast sore 
broken us in the place of dra- 
gons : and covered us with the 
shadow of death. 

20 If we have forgotten the 
name of our God : or stretched 
out our hands to a strange god; 

21 Shall not God search this 
out : for he knoweth the secrets 
of the heart. 

22 Yea, for thy sake are we 
killed all the day long : we are 
counted as sheep for the 
slaughter. 

23 Awake, why sleepest thou, 
0 Lord : arise, cast us not off 
for ever. 

24 Wherefore hidest thou thy 
face : and forgettest our afflic- 
tion and our oppression? 

25 For our soul is bowed 
down to the dust: our belly 
cieaveth unto the earth.

3 Gird thy sword upon thy 
thigh, 0 most Mighty: with thy 
glory and thy majesty. 

4 And in thy majesty ride 
prosperously, because of truth 
and meekness and righteous- 
ness : and thy right hand shall 
teach thee terrible things. 

5 Thine arrows are sharp in 
the heart of the King's en- 
emies : whereby the people fall 
under thee. 

6 Thy throne, 0 God, is for

thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 

7 Thou lovest righteousness, 
and hatest wickedness : there- 
fore God, thy God, hath anointed 
thee with the oil of gladness 
above thy fellows. 

8 All thy garments smell of 
myrrh, and aloes, and cassia: 
out of the ivory palaces, where- 
by they have made thee glad. 

9 Kings' daughters were 
among thy honorable women : 
upon thy right hand did stand 
the queen in gold of Ophir.

consider, and incline thine ear: 
forget also thine own people, 
and thy father's house; 

11 So shall the King greatly 
desire thy beauty : for he is thy 
Lord, and worship thou him.

shall be there with a gift: even 
the rich among the people shall 
entreat thy favor.

hath made in the earth.

unto the end of the earth: he 
breaketh the bow, and cutteth 
the spear in sunder, he burneth 
the chariot in the fire.

Tarshish : with an east wind.

5 Wherefore should I fear in

wealth: and boast themselves 
in the multitude of their riches;

means redeem his brother : 
nor give to God a ransom for 
him:

ever : and not see corruption.

die: likewise the fool and the 
brutish person perish, and leave 
their wealth to others.

soul from the power of the 
grave : for he shall receive me. 

16 Be not thou afraid when 
one is made rich : when the 
glory of his house is increased;

carry nothing away : his glory 
shall not descend after him. 

18 Though while he lived he 
blessed his soul : and men will 
praise thee, when thou doest 
well to thyself,

mightest be justified when thou

Holy Spirit from me.

of thy salvation : and uphold 
me with thy free Spirit. 

13 Then will I teach trans- 
gressors thy ways : and sinners 
shall be converted unto thee.

guiltiness, 0 God, thou God of 
my salvation : and my tongue

eousness.

sacrifice, else would I give it: 
thou delightest not in burnt 
offering.

broken spirit: a broken and 
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt

good : and lying rather than to 
speak righteousness. 

4 Thou lovest all devouring

5 God shall likewise destroy

and fear: and shall laugh at him : 

7 Lo, this is the man that

trusted in the abundance of his 
riches, and strengthened him- 
self in his wickedness.

abominable iniquity, there is 
Hone that doeth good.

seek God. 

3 Every one of them is gone 
back, they are altogether be-

doeth good, no, not one.

iquity no knowledge: who eat

fear, where no fear was: for 
God hath scattered the bones of 
him that encampeth against 
thee, thou hast put them to 
shame, because God hath de- 
spised them.

When God bringeth back the

God: and hide not thyself 
from my supplication. 

2 Attend unto me, and hear

and make a noise; 

3 Because of the voice of the 
enemy, because of the oppression 
of the wicked : for they cast in- 
iquity upon me, and in wrath 
they hate me. 

4 My heart is sore pained 
within me : and the terrors of 
death are fallen upon me. 

5 Fearfulness and trembling 
are come upon me : and horror 
hath overwhelmed me. 

6 And I said, Oh that I had 
wings like a dove : for then 
would I fly away, and be at rest. 

7 Lo, then would I wander far 
off: and remain in the wilder-

8 I would hasten my escape : 
from the windy storm and 
tempest. 

9 Destroy, 0 Lord, and divide 
their tongues : for I have seen 
violence and strife in the city. 

10 Day and night they go 
about it upon the walls thereof: 
mischief also and sorrow are in 
the midst of it. 

11 Wickedness is in the 
midst thereof: deceit and guile 
depart not from her streets. 

12 For it was not an enemy 
that reproached me; then I 
could have borne it: neither 
was it he that hated me that did 



magnify himself against me; 
then I would have hid myself 
from him : 

13 But it was thou, a man 
mine equal : my guide, &i.d 
mine acquaintance. 

14 We took sweet counsel 
together: and walked unto the 
house of God in company. 

15 Let death seize upon them, 
and let them go down quick into 
hell : for wickedness is in their 
dwellings, and among them. 

16 As for me, I will call upon 
God: and the Lord shall save 
me. 

17 Evening, and morning, 
and at noon, will I pray, and 
cry aloud: and he shall hear 
my voice. 

18 He hath delivered my soul 
in peace from the battle that 
was against me : for there were 
many with me. 

19 God shall hear, and afflict 
them, even he that abideth of 
old: Because they have no 
changes, therefore they fear not 
God. 

20 He hath put forth his 
hands against such as be at 
peace with him : he hath broken 
his covenant.

were smoother than butter, but 
war was in his heart : his words 
were softer than oil, yet were 
they drawn swords.

Lord, and he shall sustain thee :

God in his holy habitation.

7 0 God, w T hen thou wentest 



forth before thy people: when 
thou didst march through the 
wilderness ; 

8 The earth shook, the heav- 
ens also dropped at the presence 
of God : even Sinai itself was 
moved at the presence of God, 
the God of Israel. 

9 Thou, 0 God, didst send a 
plentiful rain : whereby thou 
didst confirm-thine inheritance, 
w^hen it was weary. 

10 Thy congregation hath 
dwelt therein: thou, 0 God, 
hast prepared of thy goodness 
for the poor. 

11 The Lord gave the word : 
great was the company of those 
that published it. 

12 Kings of armies did flee 
apace : and she that tarried at 
home divided the spoil. 

13 Though ye have lain 
among the pots: yet shall ye be

tered kings in it : it w r as white

15 The hill of God is as the 
hill of Bashan : a high hill as 
the hill of Bashan. 

16 Why weep ye, ye high 
hills : this is the hill which God 
desireth to dwell in, yea, the 
Lord will dwell in it for ever. 

17 The chariots of God are 
twenty thousand, even thou- 
sands of angels: the Lord is 
among them, as in Sinai, in the 
holy place.

21 But God shall wound the 
head of his enemies : and the 
hairy scalp of such a one as 
goeth on still in his trespasses. 

22 The Lord said, I will bring 
again from Bashan: I will 
bring my people again from the 
depths of the sea : 

23 That thy foot may be 
dipped in the blood of thine 
enemies : and the tongue of thy

Judah and their council, the

wrought for us.

Jerusalem : shall kings bring

spearmen, the multitude of the 



bulls, with the calves of the 
people, till every one submit 
himself with pieces of silver: 
scatter thou the people that de- 
light in war. 

31 Princes shall come out of 
Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon 
stretch out her hands unto God. 

32 Sing unto God, ye king-

praises unto the Lord; 

33 To him that rideth upon 
the heavens of heavens, which

there is no standing: I am come

floods overflow me. 

3 I am weary of my crying,

thee, 0 Lord God of hosts, be 
ashamed for my sake : let not 
those that seek thee be eon-

Israel. 

7 Because for thy sake I have 
borne reproach : shame hath 
covered my face. 

8 I am become a stranger 
unto my brethren : and an alien 
unto my mother's children. 

9 For the zeal of thine house 
hath eaten me up: and the re- 
proaches of them that re- 
proached thee are fallen upon 
me. 

10 When I wept, and chast- 
ened my soul with fasting: that

11 I made sackcloth also my 
garment: and I became a prov-

multitude of thy mercy hear 
me, in the truth of thy salva-

hate me, and out of the deep

lovingkindness is good: turn 



unto me according to the multi- 
tude of thy tender mercies. 

17 And hide not thy face 
from thy servant: for I am in 
trouble, hear me speedily. 

18 Draw nigh unto my soul, 
and redeem it : deliver me be- 
cause of mine enemies. 

19 Thou hast known my re- . 
proach, and my shame, and my 
dishonor: mine adversaries are 
all before thee. 

20 Reproach hath broken my 
heart, and I am full of heavi-

take pity, but there was none, 
and for comforters, but I found 
none. 

21 They gave me also gall for 
my meat: and in my thirst they 
gave me vinegar to drink.

snare before them : and that 
which should have been for 
their welfare, let it become a 
trap.

ened that they see not: and 
make their loins continually to 
shake.

TRULY God is good to Israel:

clean heart. 

2 But as for me, my feet were 
almost gone : my steps had well 
nigh slipped. 

3 For I was envious at the 
foolish : when I saw the pros- 
perity of the wicked. 

4 For there are no bands in 
their death : but their strength 
is firm. 

5 They are not in trouble as 
other men : neither are they 
plagued like other men. 

6 Therefore pride compasseth 
them about as a chain : violence 
covereth theni as a garment. 

7 Their eyes stand out with 
fatness : they have more than 
heart could wish. 

8 They are corrupt, and 
speak wickedly concerning op- 
pression : they speak loftily. 

9 They set their mouth against 
the heavens : and their tongue 
walketh through the earth. 

10 Therefore his people re- 
turn hither: and waters of a 
full cup are w r rung out to them.

this: it was too painful for me;

sanctuary of God: then under- 
stood I their end. 

18 Surely thou didst set them 
in slippery places : thou cast- 
edst them down into destruc- 
tion. 

19 How are they brought into 
desolation, as in a moment: 
they are utterly consumed with 
terrors. 

20 As a dream when one 
awaketh : so, 0 Lord, when thou 
awakest, thou shalt despise their 
image. 

21 Thus my heart was 
grieved : and I was pricked in 
my reins. 

22 So foolish was I, and ig- 
norant: I was as a beast before 
thee. 

23 Nevertheless I am contin- 
ally with thee : thou hast holden

thy counsel : and afterward re- 
ceive me to glory.

tion, which thou hast purchased 
of old : the rod of thine in-

casting down the dwelling-place

12 For God is my King of 
old : working salvation in the 
midst of the earth. 

13 Thou didst divide the sea 
by thy strength : thou brakes t 
the heads of the dragons in the 
waters. 

14 Thou brakest the head 
of leviathan in pieces : and 
gavest him to be meat to the 
people inhabiting the wilder- 
ness. 

15 Thou didst cleave the 
fountain and the flood : thou 
driedst up mighty rivers. 

16 The day is thine, and the 
night also is thine: thou hast 
prepared the light and the 
sun. 

17 Thou hast set all the bor- 
ders of the earth: thou hast 
made summer and winter. 

18 Remember this, that the 
enemy hath reproached, 0 Lord: 
and that the foolish people have 
blasphemed thy name.

told us. 

4 We will not hide them from 
their children: shewing to the 
generation to come the praises 
of the Lord, and his strength, 
and his wonderful works that 
he hath done. 

5 For he established a testi- 
mony in Jacob, and appointed a 
law in Israel, which he com- 
manded our fathers, that they 
should make them known to 
their children : 

6 That the generation to come 
might know them, even the 
children which should be born: 
who should arise and declare 
them to their children: 

7 That they might set their 
hope in God : and not forget the 



works of God : but keep his 
commandments : 

8 And might not be as their 
fathers, a stubborn and rebell- 
ious generation: a generation 
that set not their heart aright, 
and whose spirit was not stead- 
fast with God. 

9 The children of Ephraim, 
being armed, and carrying 
bows: turned back in the day 
of battle. 

10 They kept not the cove- 
nant, of God : and refused to 
walk in his law ; 

11 And forgat his works: 
and his wonders that he had 
shewed them. 

12 Marvellous things did he 
in the sight of their fathers : in 
the land of Egypt, in the field 
of Zoan. 

13 He divided the sea, and 
caused them to pass through : 
and he made the waters to stand 
as a heap. 

14 In the daytime also he led 
them with a cloud : and all the 
night with a light of fire. 

15 He clave the rocks in the 
wilderness : and gave them 
drink as out of the great depths. 

16 He brought streams also 
out of the rock: and caused 
waters to run down like rivers. 

17 And they sinned yet more 
against him : by provoking the 
Most High in the wilderness. 

18 And they tempted God in 
their heart : by asking meat for 
their lust. 

19 Yea, they spake against 
God : they said, Can God fur- 
nish a table in the wilderness? 

20 Behold, he smote the rock, 
that the waters gushed out, and

the streams overflowed : can he 
give bread also, can he provide 
flesh for his people ? 

21 Therefore the Lord heard 
this, and was wroth : so a fire 
was kindled against Jacob, and 
anger also came up against Is- 
rael ; 

22 Because they believed not 
in God : and trusted not in his 
salvation : 

28 Thoughhe had commanded 
the clouds from above : and 
opened the doors of heaven, 

24 And had rained down 
manna upon them to eat: and 
had given them of the corn of 
heaven. 

25 Man did eat angels' food : 
he sent them meat to the full. 

26 He caused an east wind to 
blow in the heaven : and by his 
power he brought in the south 
wind. 

27 He rained flesh also upon 
them as dust : and feathered 
fowls like as the sand of the sea : 

28 And he let it fall in the 
midst of their camp : round 
about their habitations. 

29 So they did eat, and were 
well filled : for he gave them 
their own desire ; 

30 They were not estranged 
from their lust : but while their 
meat was yet in their mouths, 

31 The wrath of God came 
upon them, and slew the fattest 
of them : and smote down the 
chosen men of Israel. 

32 For all this they sinned 
still : and believed not for his 
wondrous works. 

33 Therefore their days did 
he consume in vanity : and their 
years in trouble. 



34 When he slew them, then 
they sought him : and they re- 
turned and inquired early after 
God. 

35 And they remembered that 
God was their Rock: and the 
high God their Redeemer. 

36 Nevertheless they did flat- 
ter him with their mouth : and 
they lied unto him with their 
tongues. 

37 For their heart was not 
right with him : neither were 
they steadfast in his covenant. 

38 But he, being full of com- 
passion, forgave their iniquity, 
and destroyed them not : yea, 
many a time turned he his an- 
ger away, and did not stir up 
all his wrath. 

39 For he remembered that 
they were but flesh: a wind 
that passeth away, and cometh 
not again. 

40 How oft did they provoke 
him in the wilderness : and 
grieve him in the desert ! 

41 Yea, they turned back and 
tempted God: and limited the 
Holy One of Israel. 

42 They remembered not his 
hand : nor the day when he de- 
livered them from the enemy : 

43 How he had wrought his 
signs in Egypt : and his won- 
ders in the field of Zoan : 

44 And had turned their 
rivers into blood : and their 
floods, that they could not drink. 

45 He sent divers sorts of 
flies among them, which de- 
voured them : and frogs, which 
destroyed them. 

46 He gave also their in- 
crease unto the caterpillar : and 
their labor unto the locust.

47 He destroyed their vines 
with hail: and their sycamore 
trees with frost. 

48 He gave up their cattle 
also to the hail : and their flocks 
to hot thunderbolts. 

49 He cast upon them the 
fierceness of his anger, wrath, 
indignation, and trouble: by 
sending evil angels among 
them. 

50 He made a way to his an- 
ger: he spared not their soul 
from death, but gave their life 
over to the pestilence ; 

51 And smote all the first- 
born in Egypt: the chief of 
their strength in the taberna- 
cles of Ham : 

52 But made his own people 
to go forth like sheep : and 
guided them in the wilderness 
like a flock. 

53 And he led them on safely, 
so that they feared not: but the 
sea overwhelmed their enemies. 

54 And he brought them to 
the border of his sanctuary: 
even to this mountain, which his 
right hand had purchased. 

55 He cast out the heathen 
also before them, and divided 
them an inheritance by line: 
and made the tribes of Israel to 
dwell in their tents. 

56 Yet they tempted and pro- 
voked the most high God: and 
kept not his testimonies : 

57 But turned back, and dealt 
unfaithfully, like their fathers: 
they were turned aside like a 
deceitful bow. 

58 For they provoked him to 
anger with their high places: 
and moved him to jealousy with 
their graven images. 



59 When God heard this, he 
was wroth: and greatly ab- 
horred Israel : 

60 So that he forsooK the tab- 
ernacle of Shiloh : the tent which 
he placed among men ; 

61 And delivered his strength 
into captivity : and his glory 
into the enemy's hand. 

62 He gave his people over 
also unto the sword : and was 
wroth with his inheritance. 

63 The fire consumed their 
young men : and their maidens 
were not given to marriage. 

64 Their priests fell by the 
sword: and their widows made 
no lamentation. 

65 Then the Lord awaked, as 
one out of sleep: and like a 
mighty man that shouteth by 
reason of wine. 

66 And he smote his enemies 
in the hinder parts : he put 
them to a perpetual reproach. 

67 Moreover he refused the 
tabernacle of Joseph: and chose 
not the tribe of Ephraim : 

68 But chose the tribe of Ju- 
dah: the mount Zion which he 
loved. 

69 And he built his sanctuary 
like high palaces : like the earth 
which he hath established for 
ever. 

70 He chose David also his 
servant : and took him from the 
sheepfolds : 

71 From following the ewes 
great with young : he brought 
him to feed Jacob, his people, 
and Israel, his inheritance. 

72 So he fed them according 
to the integrity of his heart : 
and guided them by the skill- 
fulness of his hands.

0 GOD, the heathen are come in- 
to thine inheritance : thy ho- 
ly temple have they denied, they 
have laid Jerusalem on heaps. 

2 The dead bodies of thy serv- 
ants have they given to be meat 
unto the fowls of the heaven : 
the flesh of thy saints unto the 
beasts of the earth. 

3 Their blood have they shed 
like vrater round about Jerusa- 
lem : and there was none to bury 
them. 

4 We are become a reproach 
to our neighbors : a scorn and 
derision to them that are round 
about us. 

5 How long, Lord, wilt thou 
be angry for ever: shall thy 
jealousy burn like fire? 

6 Pour out thy wrath upon 
the heathen that have not known 
thee : and upon the kingdoms 
that have not called upon thy 
name. 

7 For they have devoured Ja- 
cob : and laid waste his dwell- 
ing place. 

8 0 remember not against us 
former iniquities : let thy tender 
mercies speedily prevent us, for 
we are brought very low. 

9 Help us, 0 God of our sal- 
vation, for the glory of thy 
name : and deliver us, and 
purge away our sins, for thy 
name's sake. 

10 "Wherefore should the hea- 
then say, Where is their God? 
let him be known among the 
heathen in our sight by the 
revenging of the blood of thy 
servants which is shed. 



11 Let the sighing of the pris- 
oner come before thee : accord- 
ing to the greatness of thy 
power preserve thou those that 
are appointed to die; 

12 And render unto our 
neighbors sevenfold into their 
bosom their reproach : where- 
with they have reproached thee, 
0 Lord. 

13 So we thy people and 
sheep of thy pasture will give 
thee thanks for ever: we will 
shew forth thy praise to all 
generations.

GIVE ear, 0 Shepherd of Israel,

a flock: thou that dwellest be-

2 Before Ephraim and Benja- 
min and Manasseh : stir up thy 
strength, and come and save us. 

3 Turn us again, 0 God, and 
cause thy face to shine : and we 
shall be saved. 

4 0 Lord God of hosts: how 
long wilt thou be angry against 
the prayer of thy people ?

bread of tears : and givest them 
tears to drink in great measure.

laugh among themselves,

3 Blow up the trumpet in the

4 For this was a statute for 
Israel : and a law of the God of 
Jacob. 

5 This he ordained in Joseph 
for a testimony, when he went 
out through the land of Egypt : 
where I heard a language that 
I understood not. 

6 I removed his shoulder 
from the burden: his hands 
were delivered from the pots. 

7 Thou calledst in trouble, 
and I delivered thee: I an- 
swered thee in the secret place 
of thunder; I proved thee at the 
waters of Meribah. 

8 Hear, 0 my people, and I 
will testify unto thee: 0 Israel, 
if thou wilt hearken unto me; 

9 There shall no strange god 
be in thee: neither shalt thou 
worship any strange god. 

10 I am the Lord thy God, 
which brought thee out of the 
land of Egypt: open thy mouth 
wide, and I will fill it. 

11 But my people would not 
hearken to my voice : and Israel 
would none of me. 

12 So I gave them up unto 
their own hearts' lust: and they 
walked in their own counsels. 

13 Oh that my people had 
hearkened unto me: and Israel 
had walked in my ways ! 

14 I should soon have subdued

hand against their adversaries. 

15 The haters of the Lord 
Should have submitted them-

4 Deliver the poor and needy :

thee have lifted up the head. 

3 They have taken crafty 
counsel against thy people : and 
consulted against thy hidden 
ones. 

4 They have said, Come, and 
let us cut them off from being a

may be no more in remem-

the mountains on lire ;

13 Thou hast a mighty arm: 
strong is thy hand, and high is 
thy right hand. 

14 Justice and judgment are 
the habitation of thy throne : 
mercy and truth shall go before 
thy face. 

15 Blessed is the people that 
know the joyful sound : they 
shall walk, O Lord, in the light

16 In thy name shall they 
rejoice all the day : and in thy 
righteousness shall they be ex- 
alted. 

17 For thou art the glory of 
their strength: and in thy fa- 
vor our horn shall be exalted. 

18 For the Lord is our de- 
fense : and the Holy One of Is- 
rael is our King. 

19 Then thou spakest in vis- 
ion to thy Holy one, and saidst, 



I have laid help upon one that 
is mighty : I have exalted one 
chosen out of the people. 

20 I have found David my 
servant: with my holy oil have 
I anointed him : 

21 With whom my hand shall 
be established : mine arm also 
shall strengthen him. 

22 The enemy shall not exact 
upon him : nor the son of wick- 
edness afflict him. 

23 And I will beat down his 
foes before his face: and plague 
them that hate him. 

24 But my faithfulness and 
my mercy shall be with him: 
and in my name shall his horn 
be exalted. 

25 I will set his hand also in 
the sea : and his right hand in 
the rivers. 

26 He shall cry unto me, 
Thou art my Father : my God, 
and the Rock of my salvation. 

27 Also I will make him my 
first-born : higher than the kings 
of the earth. 

28 My mercy will I keep for 
him for evermore : and my 
covenant shall stand fast with 
him. 

29 His seed also will I make to 
endure for ever: and his throne 
as the days of heaven. 

30 If his children forsake my 
law : and walk not in my judg- 
ments ; 

31 If they break my stat- 
utes : and keep not my com- 
mandments ; 

32 Then will I visit their 
transgressions with the rod: and 
their iniquity with stripes. 

33 Nevertheless my loving-

34 My covenant will I not 
break : nor alter the thing that 
is gone out of my lips. 

35 Once have I sworn by my 
holiness: that I will not lie 
unto David. 

36 His seed shall endure for 
ever: and his throne as the sun 
before me. 

37 It shall be established for 
ever as the moon : and as a 
faithful witness in heaven. 

38 But thou hast cast off and 
abhorred : thou hast been wroth 
with thine anointed. 

39 Thou hast made void the 
covenant of thy servant: thou 
hast profaned his crown by cast- 
ing it to the ground. 

40 Thou hast broken down all 
his hedges: thou hast brought 
his strong holds to ruin. 

41 All that pass by the way 
spoil him: he is a reproach to 
his neighbors. 

42 Thou hast set up the right 
hand of his adversaries : thou 
hast made all his enemies to 
rejoice. 

43 Thou hast also turned the 
edge of his sword : and hast not 
made him to stand in the battle. 

44 Thou hast made his glory 
to cease: and cast his throne 
down to the ground. 

45 The days of his youth 
hast thou shortened : thou hast 
covered him with shame. 

46 How long, Lord, wilt thou 
hide thyself for ever: shall thy 
wrath burn like fire? 

47 Remember how short my 
time is : wherefore hast thou 
made all men in vain? 



48 What man is he that liveth, 
and shall not see death: shall 
he deliver his soul from the 
hand of the grave? 

49 Lord, where are thy former 
loving-kindnesses : which thou 
swarest unto David in thy truth? 

50 Remember, Lord, the re- 
proach of thy servants : how I 
do bear in my bosom the reproach 
of all the mighty people;

our years as a tale that is told. 

10 The days of our years are

if by reason of strength they be

it is soon cut off, and we fly

of thine anger: even according 
to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

hearts unto wisdom.

and let it repent thee concerning 
thy servants.

of our hands establish thou it.

is my refuge and my fortress: 
my G-od, in him will I trust. 

3 Surely he shall deliver thee 
from the snare of the fowler: 
and from the noisome pestilence. 

4 He shall cover thee with 
his feathers, and under his

walketh in darkness: nor for

BLESS the Lord, O my soul: 
O Lord my God, thou art 
very great, thou art clothed with 
honor and majesty: 

2 Who coverest thyself with 
light as with a garment: who 
stretchest out the heavens like 
a curtain: 

3 Who layeth the beams of 
his chambers in the waters : who 
maketh the clouds his chariot, 
who walketh upon the wings of

4 Who maketh his angels

fire : 

5 Who laid the foundations 
of the earth: that it should not 
be removed for ever. 

6 Thou coveredst it with the 
deep as with a garment : the 
waters stood above the mount- 
ains. 

7 At thy rebuke they fled : 
at the voice of thy thunder they 
hasted away. 

8 They go up by the mount-

hast founded for them.

they may not pass over: that 
they turn not again to cover the 
earth. 

10 He sendeth the springs 
into the valleys : which run 
among the hills. 

11 They give drink to every 
beast of the field : the wild asses 
quench their thirst. 

12 By them shall the fowls 
of the heaven have their hab- 
itation: which sing among the 
branches. 

13 He watereth the hills from 
his chambers: the earth is sat- 
isfied with the fruit of thy 
works. 

14 He causeth the grass to 
grow for the cattle, and herb for 
the service of man : that he may 
bring forth food out of the earth: 

15 And wine that maketh 
glad the heart of man : and oil 
to make his face to shine, 
and bread which strengtheneth 
man's heart. 

16 The trees of the Lord are 
full of sap : the cedars of Leba- 
non, which he hath planted; 

17 Where the birds make 
their nests : as for the stork, 
the fir trees are her house. 

18 The high hills are a refuge 
for the wild goats : and the rocks 
for the conies. 

19 He appointed the moon for 
seasons : the sun knoweth his 
going down. 

20 Thou makest darkness, and 
it is night : wherein all the 
beasts of the forest do creep 
forth. 

21 The young lions roar after 
their prey: and seek their meat 
from God. 

22 The sun ariseth, they 



gather themselves together : and 
lay them down in their dens. 

23 Man goeth forth unto his 
work : and to his labor until the 
evening. 

24 0 Lord, how manifold are 
thy works! in wisdom hast thou 
made them all : the earth is full 
of thy riches. 

25 So is this great and wide 
sea : wherein are things creep- 
ing innumerable, both small and 
great beasts. 

26 There go the ships, there 
is that leviathan : whom thou 
hast made to play therein. 

27 These wait all upon thee : 
that thou mayest give them their 
meat in due season. 

28 That thou givest them they 
gather : thou openest thine hand, 
they are filled with good. 

29 Thou hidest thy face, they 
are troubled : thou takest away 
their breath, they die, and re- 
turn to their dust. 

30 Thou sendest forth thy 
spirit, they are created : and 
thou renewest the face of the 
earth. 

31 The glory of the Lord 
shall endure for ever: the Lord 
shall rejoice in his works. 

32 He looketh on the earth, 
and it trembleth: he toucheth 
the hills, and they smoke. 

33 I will sing unto the Lord 
as long as I live: I will sing 
praise to my God while I have 
my being.

wondrous works. 

3 Glory ye in his holy name :

7 He is the Lord our God : 
his judgments are in all the 
earth. 

8 He hath remembered his 
covenant for ever: the word 
which he commanded to a 
thousand generations. 

9 Which covenant he made 
with Abraham: and his oath 
unto Isaac ; 

10 And confirmed the same 
unto Jacob for a law: and to 
Israel for an everlasting cove-

11 Saying, Unto thee will I 
give the land of Canaan: the 
lot of your inheritance :

13 When they went from one 
nation to another: from one 
kingdom to another people ; 

14 He suffered no man to do 
them wrong : yea, he reproved 
kings for their sakes; 

15 Saying, Touch not mine 
anointed : and do my prophets 
no harm. 

16 Moreover he called for a 
famine upon the land : he brake 
the whole staff of bread. 

17 He sent a man before 
them, even Joseph : who was 
sold for a servant: 

18 Whose feet they hurt with 
fetters: he was laid in iron: 

19 Until the time that his 
word came : the word of the 
Lord tried him. 

20 The king sent and loosed 
him : even the ruler of the peo- 
ple, and let him go free. 

21 He made him lord of his 
house: and ruler of all his 
substance : 

22 To bind his princes at his 
pleasure: and teach his sena- 
tors wisdom. 

23 Israel also came into 
Egypt: and Jacob sojourned in 
the land of Ham. 

24 And he increased his peo- 
ple greatly: and made them 
stronger than their enemies. 

25 He turned their heart to 
hate his people : to deal subtilely 
with his servants. 

26 He sent Moses his servant: 
and Aaron whom he had chosen. 

27 They shewed his signs 
among them: and wonders in

28 He sent darkness, and 
made it dark : and they rebelled

37 He brought them forth also 
with silver and gold : and there 
was not one feeble person among 
their tribes. 

38 Egypt was glad when they 
departed : for the fear of them 
fell upon them. 

39 He spread a cloud for a 
covering : and fire to give light 
in the night.

brought quails: and satisfied 
them with the bread of heaven. 

41 He opened the rock, and 
the waters gushed out: they 
ran in the dry places like a

11 And the waters covered

12 Then believed they his

1 8 They soon forgat his works : 
they waited not for his counsel: 

14 But lusted exceedingly in 
the wilderness: and tempted 
God in the desert. 

15 And he gave them their 
request: but sent leanness into 
their soul. 

16 They envied Moses also 
in the camp : and Aaron the 
saint of the Lord. 

17 The earth opened and 
swallowed up Dathan : and cov- 
ered the company of Abiram. 

18 And a fire was kindled in 
their company : the flame burned 
up the wicked.

and worshiped the molten image. 

20 Thus they changed their 
glory: into the similitude of an 
ox that eateth grass. 

21 They forgat God their 
savior: which had done great 
things in Egypt; 

22 Wondrous works in the 
land of Ham: and terrible 
things by the Red sea. 

23 Therefore he said that he 
would destroy them : had not 
Moses his chosen stood before 
him in the breach, to turn away 
his wrath, lest he should destroy 
them. 

24 Yea, they despised the 
pleasant land: they believed 
not his word : 

25 But murmured in their 



tents : and hearkened not unto 
the voice of the Lord. 

26 Therefore he lifted up his 
hand against them: to over- 
throw them in the wilderness: 

27 To overthrow their seed 
also among the nations: and to 
scatter them in the lands. 

28 They joined themselves 
also unto Baal-peor: and ate 
the sacrifices of the dead. 

29 Thus they provoked him to 
anger with their inventions: and 
the plague brake in upon them. 

30 Then stood up Phinehas, 
and executed judgment: and 
so the plague was stayed. 

31 And that was counted 
unto him for righteousness: 
unto all generations for ever- 
more. 

32 They angered him also at 
the waters of strife : so that it 
went ill with Moses for their 
sakes : 

33 Because they provoked his 
spirit : so that he spake unad- 
visedly with his lips. 

34 They did not destroy the 
nations : concerning whom the 
Lord commanded them : 

35 But were mingled among 
the heathen : and learned their 
works. 

36 And they served their 
idols : which were a snare unto 
them. 

37 Yea, they sacrificed their 
sons : and their daughters unto 
devils, 

38 And shed innocent blood, 
even the blood of their sons and 
of their daughters, whom they 
sacrificed unto the idols of Ca-

9 He sent redemption unto his

commandments. 

2 His seed shall be mighty 
upon earth : the generation of 
the upright shall be blessed. 

3 Wealth and riches shall be

4 Unto the upright there aris- 
eth light in the darkness: he is 
gracious, and full of compassion, 
and righteous. 

5 A good man sheweth favor, 
and lendeth: he will guide his 
affairs with discretion. 

6 Surely he shall not be 
moved for ever : the righteous 
shall be in everlasting remem- 
brance. 

7 He shall not be afraid of 
evil tidings : his heart is fixed, 
trusting in the Lord. 

8 His heart is established, he 
shall not be afraid : until he see 
his desire upon his enemies. 

9 He hath dispersed, he hath 
given to the poor: his righteous- 
ness endureth for ever, his horn 
shall be exalted with honor. 

10 The wicked shall see it, 
and be grieved; he shall gnash 
with his teeth, and melt away: 
the desire of the wicked shall 
perish.

PSALM 114. 

WHEN Israel went out of 
Egypt: the house of Jacob 
from a people of strange lan- 
guage; 

2 Judah was his sanctuary: 
and Israel his dominion. 

3 The sea saw it, and fled: 
Jordan was driven back. 

4 The mountains skipped like 
rams : and the little hills like 
lambs. 

5 What ailed thee, 0 thou sea,

that thou wast driven back?

ped like rams : and ye little

a fountain of waters. 

PSALM 115. 

NOT unto us, 0 Lord, not unto

glory : for thy mercy, and for 
thy truth's sake. 

2 Wherefore should the hea- 
then say : Where is now their 
God? 

3 But our Gocl is in the

4 Their idols are silver and

6 They have ears, but they 
hear not: noses have they, but

7 They have hands, but they

they walk not, neither speak 
they through their throat.

hath heard my voice and my 
supplications. 

2 Because he hath inclined 
his ear unto me : therefore will 
I call upon him as long as I 
live. 

3 The sorrows of death com-

gat hold upon me: I found 
trouble and sorrow. 

4 Then called I upon the name 
of the Lord : 0 Lord, I beseech 
thee, deliver my soul. 

5 Gracious is the Lord, and 
righteous: yea, our God is mer-

7 Return unto thy rest, 0 my

bountifully with thee. 



8 For thou hast delivered my 
soul from death : mine eyes 
from tears, and my feet from 
falling. 

9 I will walk before the Lord : 
in the land of the living. 

10 I believed, therefore have 
I spoken : I was greatly af- 
flicted : 

11 I said in my haste: All

PSALM 120. 

IN my distress I cried unto the 
Lord : and he heard me. 

2 Deliver my soul, 0 Lord: 
from lying lips, and from a de- 
ceitful tongue. 

3 What shall be given unto 
thee ; or what shall be done unto 
thee, thou false tongue? 

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty: 
with coals of juniper. 

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn 
in Mesech : that I dwell in the 
tents of Kedar! 

6 My soul hath long dwelt: 
with him that hateth peace. 

7 I am for peace : but when 
I speak, they are for war. 

PSALM 121. 

TWILL lift up mine eyes unto

my help. 



2 My help cometh from the 
Lord : which made heaven and 
earth. 

3 He will not suffer thy foot 
to be moved : he that keepeth 
thee will not slumber. 

4 Behold, he that keepeth Is- 
rael : shall neither slumber nor 
sleep. 

5 The Lord is thy keeper : the 
Lord is thy shade upon thy right 
hand. - 

6 The sun shall not smite 
thee by day : nor the moon by

7 The Lord shall preserve 
thee from all evil : he shall pre- 
serve thy soul.

PSALM 123. 

UNTO thee lift I up mine eyes : 
0 thou that dwellest in the

2 Behold, as the eyes of serv- 
ants look unto the hand of their 
masters, and as the eyes of a 
maiden unto the hand of her 
mistress : so our eyes wait upon 
the Lord our God, until that he

3 Have mercy upon us, 0 
Lord, have mercy upon us: for 
we are exceedingly filled with 
contempt. 

4 Our soul is exceedingly 
filled with the scorning of those 
that are at ease: and with the 
contempt of the proud. 

PSALM 124. 
TF it had not been the Lord 
X who was on our side: now

rose up against us:

was kindled against us :

whelmed us : the stream had 
gone over our soul : 

5 Then the proud waters : had

6 Blessed be the Lord: who

Dird out of the snare of the

PSALM 125.

which cannot be removed, but 
abideth for ever. 

2 As the mountains are round 
about Jerusalem: so the Lord is 
round about his people from 
henceforth even for ever. 

3 For the rod of the wicked 
shall not rest upon the lot of the 
righteous: lest the righteous 
put forth their hands unto in- 
iquity.

Lord shall lead them forth with

peace shall be upon Israel.

with laughter, and our tongue 
with singing: then said they

my voice : with my voice unto 
the Lord did I make my suppli- 
cation. 

2 I poured out my complaint 
before him : I shewed before him 
my trouble. 

3 When my spirit was over- 
whelmed within me, then thou 
knewest my path: in the way 
wherein I walked have they 
privily laid a snare for me. 

4 I looked on my right hand, 
and beheld, but there was no man 
that would know me: refuge 
failed me; no man cared for my 
soul. 

5 I cried unto thee, 0 Lord, 
I said : Thou art my refuge and 
my portion in the land of the 
living. 

6 Attend unto my cry, for I 
am brought very low : deliver 
me from my persecutors, for 
they are stronger than I. 

7 Bring my soul out. of prison, 
that I may praise thy name : 
the righteous shall compass me 
about, for thou shalt deal boun- 
tifully with me. 

PSALM 143.

tions : in thy faithfulness an-

swer me, and in thy righteous- 
ness. 

2 And enter not. into judg- 
ment with thy servant: for in 
thy sight shall no man living 
be justified. 

3 For the enemy hath perse- 
cuted my soul, he hath smitten 
my life down to the ground : he 
hath made me to dwell in dark- 
ness, as those that have been 
long dead. 

4 Therefore is my spirit over- 
whelmed within me : my heart 
within me is desolate. 

5 I remember the days of old, 
I meditate on all thy works : I 
muse on the work of thy hands. 

6 I stretch forth my hands 
unto thee: my soul thirsteth 
after thee, as a thirsty land. 

7 Hear me speedily, 0 Lord, 
my spirit faileth : hide not thy 
face from me, lest I be like unto 
them that go down into the pit. 

8 Cause me to hear thy lov- 
ingkindness in the morning, for 
in thee do I trust: cause me to 
know the way wherein I should 
walk, for I lift up my soul unto 
thee. 

9 Deliver me, 0 Loyd, from 
mine enemies : I flee unto thee 
to hide me. 

10 Teach me to do thy will, 
for thou art my God : thy Spirit 
is good, lead me into the land 
of uprightness. 

11 Quicken me, 0 Lord, for 
thy name's sake: for thy right- 
eousness' sake bring my soul 
out of trouble. 

12 And of thy mercy cut off 
mine enemies: and destroy all 
them that afflict my soul, for I 
am thy servant.

3 Lord, what is man, that

4 Man is like to vanity : his

5 Bow thy heavens, 0 Lord,

6 Cast forth lightning, and 
scatter them : shoot out thine 
arrows, and destroy them. 

7 Send thine hand from above: 
rid me, and deliver me out of 
great waters, from the hand of

minion endureth throughout all

15 The eyes of all wait upon 
thee : and thou givest them their 
meat in due season. 

16 Thou openest thine hand :

JJL That are called by the name of | Isra- | el, 
And are come forth | out of the | waters of | Judah: 

2 Who swear by the | name of the | Lord, 
And make mention of the God of | Isra- | el ; 
But not in truth | nor in | righteous- | ness. 

3 For they call themselves of the | holy | city, 
And stay themselves upon the God of | Isra- | el : 
The Lord of | Hosts | is his | name. 

4 I have declared the former things | from the be- | ginning ; 
And they went out of my mouth, | and I | showed them : 

I did them suddenly, | and they | came to | pass. 

5 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of | 

Isra- | el ; 

I am the Lord thy God, who teacheth | thee to | profit, 
Who leadeth thee by the | way that | thou shouldst | go. 

6 0 that thou hadst hearkened to | my com- | mandments ; 
Then had thy peace | been as a | river, 

And thy righteousness | as the | waves of the | sea. 

7 Thy seed also had | been as the | sand, 

And the offspring of thy bowels as the | gravel there- | of: 
His name should not have been cut | off nor de- | stroyed 
from be- | fore me. Is. xlviii: 1-3, 17-19.

HYMNS WITH TUNES 

FOR THE 

Services of the Church. 



COMPILED AND EDITED BY 

REV. FRANK SEWALL. 



PHILADELPHIA: 

J. B. LIPP1NC0TT & CO. 
18 6 8. 



Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1S66, by 
FRANK SETVALL, 

In the Clerk's Office of the District Conrt of the United States, fof the 

Southern District of Ohio, 



PREFACE. 



Carmenque Christo, quasi Deo, dicere secum inmcem. 

Plinii, Lib. x, Epist. 97. 

IT is not without reason that the compiler has presumed to 
name the present little volume The Christian Hymnal. 
The hymns herein contained are addressed solely to the Lord 
Jesus Christ in His Divine Humanity as the only God of 
heaven and earth, " in whom," as the Apostle has said, u dwelleth 
all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." The sublime doctrine 
of the Oneness of God and of His absolute Identity with our 
"blessed Lord and Saviour, a doctrine which Prophets, Evangel- 
ists and Apostles unite in declaring in the Holy Scriptures, is 
that which the compiler has endeavored, before all else, to have 
set forth in this volume of hymns. With a view to preparing 
for the use of all sincere worshippers of the Lord Jesus Christ 
a Hymnal which shall, therefore, embody the doctrine that He 
is the Incarnate Jehovah, and that in Him resides the fullness 
of the blessed Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, constituting 
His trinal nature of Love, Wisdom and Divine Proceeding, the 
compiler has not scrupled to modify or omit expressions of an 
import contrary to this doctrine, whenever they have been met 
with in the hymns selected. Whether in undergoing such 

iii 



PREFACE. 



alterations, the hymns in question have lost any of their original 
worth, beauty and force, it is left to intelligent christian minds 
to decide. 

The arrangement of the hymns is in two parts, the first com- 
prising those on the Incarnation and Redemption, arranged in the 
order of the Gospel narrative, or the Christian Year ; the second 
containing General and Occasional Hymns, arranged according 
to their topics. In this arrangement of the hymns, as well as in 
their number and variety, it is believed the collection will con- 
veniently meet the various needs of christian worship, both in 
the congregation and in the home-circle. 

The materials of this volume have been collected from the 
wide range of English, German and Latin sacred poetry and 
harmony, both old and new. To a number of hymns of genuine 
excellence, endeared and familiar to us from long usage, and 
wedded to their quaint but pleasant old melodies, the compiler 
has added many beautiful modern English hymns and tunes, 
together with a good number of celebrated German hymns, in 
most cases translated in their original metres and set to their 
proper chorals. Versions of a number of the old Latin hymns, 
the favorites of many ages, have also been introduced, and these, 
with the German translations and chorals are, it is believed, now 
for the first time made accessible to singers of sacred music in 
this country. A number of the translations and tunes are 
original and have never before been published. 

Chief among the sources to which the compiler is indebted, 

deserve to be mentioned Mr. Monk's Hymns Ancient and Modern, 

published by Xovello, in London; The Church Psalter and Hymn 

Book, by Rev. William Mercer, M. A., of Sheffield, and John 

iv 



PREFACE. 



Goss, Esq., Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, London; Dr. Neale's 
translations of Mediceval Hymns ; Miss Catherine Winkworth s 
Lyra Germanica, and Roundell Palmer's Book of Praise. The 
compiler would also gratefully acknowledge his indebtedness to 
Dr. Lowell Mason for the use, with permission, of a number of 
tunes from that author's admirable collections, to Mr. 0. Ditson, 
of Boston, for the copy-right of the tune to Hymn 166, and to 
Mr. Herrman Strachauer, for a number of beautiful original 
tunes, and for his careful revision of the musical part of the 
work. 

May the use of this Christian Hymnal by the devout worship- 
pers of the Lord, tend to hasten the time when "the Lord 
shall be King over all the earth, and there shall be one Lord 
and His name one.' (Zech. xiv: 9.)

SLEEPERS, wake, a voice is calling, 
It is the watchman's voice upon thy walls, 
0 City of Jerusalem ! 
Lo ! he cries the hour of midnight, 
The voice is gone out into all the world, — 

Where are ye Servants of the Lord! 
For lo! the Bridegroom comes; 
Arise and take your lamps ! Alleluia ! 
Awake, his kingdom is at hand ; 
Go forth, go forth to meet your Lord!

JJARK the glad sound! the Saviour comes, 



The Saviour promised long : 
Let every heart prepare a throne, 
And every voice a song. 



2 He comes, the prisoners to release, 

In Satan's bondage held; 
The gates of brass before him burst, 
The iron fetters yield. 

3 He comes, the broken hearts to bind, 

The bleeding souls to cure, 
And with the treasure of his grace 
To bless the humble poor. 



Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, 
Thine Advent shall proclaim; 

And heaven's eternal arches ring 
With thy beloved Name.

HOW bright appears the morning-star 
With mercy beaming from afar I 
The host of heaven rejoices ! 
0 righteous Branch! 0 Jesse's Rod! 
Thou Son of man, and Son of God ! 
We, too, will lift our voices. 
Jesu! Jesu! 
Holy, holy! yet most lowly! 

Draw thou near us: 
Great Emmanuel! stoop and hear us. 



2 Though circled by the hosts on high, 
He deigned to cast a pitying eye 

Upon his helpless creature: 
The whole creation's Head and Lord, 
By highest seraphim adored, 
Assumed our very nature : 
Jesu ! grant us, 
By thy Spirit to inherit 

Thy salvation: 
Hear, 0 hear our supplication. 



3 Rejoice, ye heavens ! thou earth, reply ! 
With praise, ye mortals, fill the sky! 

For this his incarnation ! 
Incarnate God, put forth thy power, 
Ride on, ride on, great Conqueror, 
Till all know thy salvation! 
Amen, amen! 
Alleluia, Alleluia ! 

Praise be given 
Evermore, by earth and heaven.

OHOW shall I receive thee, 
How greet thee, Lord, aright! 
All nations long to see thee, 

My hope, my heart's delight! 
O, kindle, Lord most holy, 

Thy lamp within my breast, 
To do, in spirit lowly, 

All that may please thee best. 



2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, 

And branches fresh and fair; 
My heart, its powers renewing, 

An anthem shall prepare: 
My soul puts off her sadness 

Thy glories to proclaim ; 
With all her strength and gladness 

She fain would serve thy name. 



3 Love caused thy incarnation, 

Love brought thee down to me; 
Thy thirst for my salvation 

Procured my liberty : 
0, love beyond all telling! 

That led thee to embrace— 
0, love all love excelling! — 

Our lost and fallen race I 



i 0, this blest truth remember, 

All ye who sit in gloom ; 
Within your hearts' best chamber 

For this dear guest make room. 
He only who can cheer you, 

Is standing at the door; 
He brings his pity near you, 

And bids you weep no more.

And ransom captive Israel, 
That mourns in lonely exile here 
Until the Son of Glod appear. 

Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel 
Shall come to thee, 0 Israel ! 



2 0 come, thou Rod of Jesse, free 
Thine own from Satan's tyranny^ 
From depths of hell thy people save, 
And give them victory o'er the grave. 
Rejoice ! rejoice ! Emmanuel 
Shall come to thee, 0 Israel !

Our spirits by thine Advent here ; 
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, 
And death's dark shadows put to flight. 
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel 
Shall come to thee, 0 Israel ! 



4 0 come, thou Key of David, come 
And open wide our heavenly home; 
Make safe the way that leads on high, 
And close the path to misery. 

Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel 
Shall come to thee, 0 Israel ! 



6 0 come, 0 come, thou Lord of Might, 
Who to thy tribes, on Sinai's height, 
In ancient times didst give the law 
In cloud, and majesty, and awe. 
Rejoice ! rejoice ! Emmanuel 
Shall come to thee, 0 Israel !

r mHE Advent of our King 

X Our praise must now employ ; 
Come let us hymns of welcome sing 
In strains of holy joy. 

2 The Everlasting Lord 
Incarnate deigns to be; 

The Mighty girdeth on his sword 
To set his servants free. 

3 Daughter of Zion, rise 
To meet thy lowly King; 

Nor let thy faithless heart despise 
The peace he comes to bring. 

4 Before the dawning day 

Let sin's dark deeds be gone; 
The old man all be put away, 
The new man all put on. 



Q TXTHEN shades of night around us close, 
YV And weary limbs in sleep repose, 
The faithful soul awake may be, 
And longing sigh, 0 Lord, to thee.

Thou Word of God, thou Saviour dear; 
In pity heed our humble cries, 

And bid at length the fallen rise. 

3 0 come, Redeemer, come and free 
Thine own from guilt and misery ; 
The gates of heaven again unfold, 
Closed by our evil deeds of old.

\J Thy people's everlasting Light, 
Jesu, Redeemer of us all, 
Hear thou thy servants when they calL 

2 Thou, sorrowing at the helpless cry 
Of all creation doomed to die, 
Didst save our lost and guilty race 
By healing gifts of heavenly grace. 

3 When earth was near its evening hour, 
Thou didst, in love's redeeming power, 
Like bridegroom from his chamber, come 
Forth from a Virgin-mother's womb. 

4 At thy great Name, exalted now, 
All knees in lowly homage bow; 

All things in heaven and earth adore, 
And own thee King for evermore.

ALONE to God on high be praise 
And thankful adoration, 
That we may now, and all our days, 

Rejoice in his salvation. 
Let high in heaven his praises sound, 
Peace and good-will on earth abound, 
All feud and strife be ended. 



2 Ye Christian people, all rejoice, 
Each soul with joy upspringing; 
Pour forth one song with heart and voic«| 

With love and gladness singing. 
Give thanks to God, the Lord above, 
Thanks for his miracle of love ; 
In love hath he redeemed us. 



8 Lord Jesus Christ, alone to thee 

Be praise and glory given; 
Who reignest, God, eternally, 

In all the earth and heaven, 
The Prince of Peace, the incarnate Word, 
The wonderful, the mighty Lord, 

The Father everlasting.

CALM on the listening ear of night 
Come heavens melodious strains, 
Where wild Judea stretches far 
Her silver-mantled plains. 

2 Celestial choirs, from courts above, 

Shed sacred glories there ; 
And angels, with their sparkling lyres, 
Make music on the air. 

3 The answering hills of Palestine 

Send back the glad reply; 
And greet, from all their sacred heights, 
The day-spring from on high. 

4 O'er the blue depths of Galilee 

There comes a holier calm; 
And Sharon waves, in solemn praise, 
Her silent groves of palm. 

5 "Glory to God!" the sounding skies 

Loud with their anthems ring : 
"Peace to the earth, Good will to men 
From heavens Eternal King." 

6 Light on thy hills, Jerusalem ! 

The Saviour now is born ; 
And bright on Bethlehem's joyous plains 
Breaks the first Christmas morn. IV.

2 Peace is come, good will appears, 
Sinners wipe away your tears ; 
Christ for you in flesh to-day 
Humbly in the manger lay. 

3 Shepherds tending flocks by night, 
Heard the song and saw the light; 
Took their reeds, and softest strains 
Echo'd through the happy plains. 

4 Mortals, hail the glorious King! 
Richest incense cheerful bring; 
Praise and love Emmanuel's name, 

And his boundless grace proclaim. VL

J^g TTAEK! what mean those holy voices, 
XI Sweetly sounding through the skies 
Lo! the angelic host rejoices, 

Heavenly alleluias rise. 
Listen to the wond'rous story, 

Which they chant in hymns and joy: — 
Glory in the highest, glory, 

Glory be to God on high! 

22 



2 Peace on earth, good-will from heaven, 

Thus they sing with harps of gold; 
Christ is born, the Son is given, 

Of the prophets long foretold. 
Haste, ye mortals, to adore him, 

Heaven and earth his praises bring; 
Men and angels fall before him, 

Hail your Saviour, Lord, and King. VIII. 



LIGHT of life, the great Messiah, 
Promised Day-Spring from on high, 
Deign to visit waiting mortals 

From thy state above the sky. 
God incarnate, veil thy splendor, 

Joy of heaven, to earth come down ; 
Make in us thy humble dwelling, 
All thy faithful mercies crown. 



2 Shepherds, did you iearn his coming 

While you kept your flocks by night? 
Did you see his star in heaven 

Blaze with new-created light? 
Haste, ye magi, come and worship, 

See the orient star before; 
Bring your presents, gold and spices, 

Blest Arabia's balmy store. 



3 All ye joyous hosts of heaven, 

Loudly speak your Saviour's praise 
Saints and angels, in full chorus 

Your seraphic voices raise; 
Alleluia! Alleluia! 

In wide-echoing songs proclaim; 
Heaven and earth, with joy resounding, 

Praise the blest Redeemer's name. VIE.

Risen with healing in his wings.

Born to raise the sons of earth, 
Born to give them second birth. 
Hark ! the herald-angels sing 
Glory to the new-born King.

J^Q T ET every heart exulting beat 

1 1 With joy at Jesu's name of bliss; 
With every pure delight replete 
And passing sweet its music is. 

2 Jesus the comfortless consoles, 

Jesus each sinful fever quells, 
Jesus the power of hell controls, 
Jesus each deadly foe repels. 

3 0 speak his glorious name abroad! 

Jesus let every tongue confess, 
Let every heart and voice accord 
The healer of our souls to bless. 

4 All might, all glory be to thee, 

Refulgent with this name divine ; 
All honor, worship, majesty, 
Jesu, for evermore be thine. 



JESUS shall reign where'er the sun 
Doth his successive journeys run; 
His kingdom spread from shore to shore, 
Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 

2 To him shall endless prayer be made, 
And endless praises crown his head; 
His name like sweet perfume shall rise 
With every morning sacrifice. 

30 



3 People and realms of every tongue 
Dwell on his love with sweetest song; 
And infant voices shall proclaim 
Their early blessings on his Name. 

4 Let every creature rise and bring 
Peculiar honors to our King ; 
Angels descend with songs again, 
And earth repeat the loud Amen. 



THEE, 0 Emmanuel, we praise ! 
The Prince of Life, the Fount of Grace, 
The Morning-Star, the Heavenly Flower, 
Th' incarnate Word, the Lord of Power. 

2 Since first the world began to be, 

How many a heart hath longed for thee! 
Long years our fathers hoped, of old, 
Their eyes might yet thy Light behold. 

3 The prophets cried, "Ah ! would he came 
To break the fetters of our shame ! 
That help from Zion came to men, 
Israel were glad and prospered then ! " 

4 Now thou art here ; we know thee now; 
In lowly manger liest thou, 

A child, yet makest all things great; 
Poor, yet is earth thy robe of state. 

5 From thee alone all gladness flows, 
Who yet shalt bear our bitt'rest woes; 
Earth's light and comfort thou shalt be, 
Yet none shall watch to comfort thee. 

6 Lord, we would sing thy praises here 
With joyful spirit, year by year: 

And they shall sound before thy throne 
When time nor number more are known.

TO the Name of our Salvation 
Laud and honor let us pay, 
Which for many a generation 

Hid in God's foreknowledge lay, 
But with holy exultation 
We may sing aloud to-day. 

2 Jesus is the name we treasure, 

Name beyond what words can tell; 

Name of gladness, name of pleasure, 
Ear and heart delighting well; 

Name of sweetness passing measure, 
Saving us from sin and hell. 



3 'T is the name for adoration, 

Name for songs of victory; 
Name for holy meditation 

In this vale of misery, 
Name for joyful veneration 

By the citizens on high. 

4 'T is the name that, whoso preacheth, 

Speaks like music to the ear ; 
Who in prayer this name beseecheth, 

Sweetest comfort findeth near; 
Who its perfect wisdom reacheth, 

Heavenly joy possesseth here* 

6 Jesus is the name exalted 

Over every other name ; 
In this name, whene'er assaulted, 

We can put our foes to shame ; 
Strength to them who else had halted, 

Eyes to blind, and feet to lame. 

8 Therefore we, in love adoring, 
This most blessed name revere ; 
Holy Jesus, thee imploring 
So to write it in us here, 
That hereafter, heavenward soaring, 

We may sing with angels there. VII.

HAIL to the Lord's Anointed, 
Great David's greater Son! 
Hail, in the time appointed, 
His reign on earth begun! 
He conies to break oppression, 

To set the captive free; 
To take away transgression, 
And rule in equity. 



2 He shall come down like showers 

Upon the fruitful earth, 
And joy and hope, like flowers, 

Spring in his path to birth; 
Before him, on the mountains, 

Shall Peace, the herald, go; 
From hill to vale the fountains 

Of righteousness o'erflow. 



3 Kings shall bow down before hinij 

And gold and incense bring; 
All nations shall adore him, 

His praise all people sing; 
To him shall prayer unceasing 

And daily vows ascend; 
His kingdom still increasing, 

A kingdom without end. 



4 O'er every foe victorious, 

He on his throne shall rest, 
From age to age more glorious, 

All-blessing and all-blessed; 
The tide of time shall never 

His covenant remove ; 
His name shall stand forever, 

His changeless name of Love.

J\_ Did the guiding star behold; 
As with joy they hailed its light, 
Leading onward, beaming bright, 
So, most gracious Lord, may we 
Evermore be led to thee. 

2 As with joyful steps they sped 
To that lowly manger-bed; 
There to bend the knee before 
Him whom heaven and earth adore; 
So may we with willing feet 
Ever seek the mercy-seat. 

S As they offered gifts most rare 
At that manger rude and bare; 
So may we with holy joy, 
Pure and free from sin's alloy, 
All our costliest treasures bring, 
Christ ! to thee our heavenly King.

St- 



4 Holy Jesus, every day 
Keep us in the narrow way; 

And, when earthly things are past, 
Bring our ransomed souls at last 
Where they need no star to guide, 
Where no clouds thy glory hide. 

5 In the heavenly country bright 
Need they no created light; 
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, 
Thou its Sun which goes not down; 
There forever may we sing 
Alleluias to our King. 



ALL ye Gentile lands, awake! 
Thou, 0 Salem, rise and shine I 
See the day-spring o'er you break, 

Heralding a morn divine; 
Telling God hath called to mind 
Those who long in darkness pined. 

2 Lo! the glory of the Lord 

Hath arisen on us to-day; 
We have seen the light outpoured 

That must surely drive away 
All things that to night belong — 
All the sad earth's woe and wrong. 

3 Thy arising, Lord, shall fill 

All my thoughts in sorrow's hour; 
Thy arising, Lord, shall still 

All my dread of death's dark power; 
Through my smiles and through my tears. 
Still thy light, 0 Lord, appears. 

4 Let me, Lord, in peace depart 

From this evil world to thee; 
Where thyself sole brightness art, 

Thou hast kept a place for me; 
In the shining city there, 
Crowns of light thy saints shall wear.

28 "D RIGHTEST and best of the sons of the morning, 
J3 Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; 
Star of the East, the horizon adorning, 
Guide where the infant Redeemer is laid. 

2 Cold, on his cradle, the dew-drops are shining; 

Low lies his bed with the beasts of the stall ; 
Angels adore him, in slumber reclining, — 
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour, of all. 

3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion. 

Odors of Edom and ofFrings divine ? 
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, 
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 

4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation; 

Vainly with gifts w r ould his favor secure; 
Richer by far is the heart's adoration; 
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor

X Glads the adoring angels' sight, 
How shall I lift mine eyes to thee 
In all thy bright immensity? 

2 On Tabors height in days of old 
Did men thy majesty behold; 

Thy Word reflects the glorious view, 
That we may share the vision too. 

3 In every work thy hands have made, 
Thy power and wisdom are displayed, 
But 0 ! what glories all divine 

From thee, Incarnate Saviour, shine ! 

4 Thou art my Sun : thy quickening rays 
Fill my glad heart with joy and praise; 
Cheered by thy glowing beams I prove 
The warmth of thy paternal love.

SAVIOUR, when in dust to thee 
Low we bow the adoring knee, 
When, repentant, to the skies 
Scarce we lift our weeping eyes, 
0 ! by all thy pains and woe 
Suffered once for man below, 
Bending from thy throne on high, 
Hear our solemn litany. 

2 By thy birth and early years, 
By thy life of want and tears, 
By thy fasting and distress 
In the lonely wilderness, 

By the dread mysterious hour 
Of the subtle tempter's power, 
Jesu, look with pitying eye, 
Hear our solemn litany. 

3 By the sacred grief that wept 

O'er the grave where Lazarus slept, 
By the gracious tears that flowed 
Over Salem's loved abode, 
By the mournful word that told 
Treachery lurked within thy fold, 
Jesu, look with pitying eye, 
Hear our solemn litany. 

4 By thine hour of whelming fear, 
By thine agony and prayer, 

By the purple robe of scorn, 

By thy wounds, thy crown of thorn ? 

By thy cross, thy pangs, and cries, 

By thy perfect sacrifice, 

Jesu, look with pitying eye, 

Hear our solemn litany. 

5 By thy deep expiring groan, 
By the sealed sepulchral stone, 
By thy triumph o'er the grave, 
By thy power from death to save, 
Mighty God, ascended Lord, 
To thy throne in heaven restored, 
Prince and Saviour, hear our cry, . 
Hear our solemn litany. Amen.

/~\ LOVE, how deep! how broad! how high! 
\J It fills the heart with ecstasy, 
That God, th' eternal Word, should take 
Our mortal form for mortals' sake. 



2 He sent no angel to our race 
Of higher or of lower place, 

But wore the robe of human frame 
Himself, and to this lost world came. 

3 Nor willed he only to appear ; 
His pleasure was to tarry here, 

And God-and-Man with man would be 
The space of thirty years and three. 

4 For us he was baptized, and bore 
His holy fast, and hungered sore; 
For us temptation sharp he knew; 
For us the tempter overthrew. 

5 For us he prayed, for us he taught, 
For us his daily works he wrought, 
By words, and signs, and actions, thus 
Still seeking not himself, but us. 



6 For us to wicked men betrayed, 
Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, 
He bore the shameful cross and death, 
For us at length gave up his breath. 

7 For us he rose from death again, 
For us he went on high to reign, 
For us he sent his Spirit here 

To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 



THOU Lamb of God, thou Prince of Peace, 
For thee my thirsty soul doth pine; 
My love, my faith, my hope increase, 
And make me in thy likeness shine. 

2 With single eye and humble mind, 

Thy will in all things may I see ! 
In love be every wish resigned, 

And hallowed every thought to thee! 

3 Close by thy side 0 keep me still, 

Howe'er life's various currents flow; 
"With steadfast eye to mark thy will, 
And follow thee where'er I go. 

4 Thou, Lord, the dreadful fight hast won; 

Alone hast thou the wine-press trod. 
Thy hand shall lead me safely on: 
Mighty to save art thou, my God. 



OTHOU, to whose all-searching sight 
The darkness shineth as the light, 
Search, prove my heart; it pants for thee: 
0 burst these bonds, and set it free. 

2 While in this darksome wild I stray, 
Be thou my light, be thou my way; 
No foes, no violence I fear, 

No harm, if thou, 0 Lord, art near. 

3 When rising floods my soul o'erflow, 
When sinks my heart in waves of woe, 
0 Lord, thy timely aid impart, 

And raise my Lead, and cheer my heart, 

4 If rough and thorny be the way, 
My strength proportion to my day ; 
Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease, 
Where all is calm, and joy, and peace.

34 TESTIS, the weary wanderer's rest, 
•J Give me thy easy yoke to bear ; 
With resignation arm my breast, 
With humble love and lowly fear. 



2 Thankful I take the cup from thee, 
Mingled according to thy will, 
Though bitter to the taste it be, 
'Tis full of heavenly mercy still. 



8 Be thou, 0 Rock of Ages, nigh ! 

So shall each murmuring thought be gone, 
And grief, and fear, and care shall fly, 
As clouds before the mid-day sun. 



4 0 thou, who bad'st the tempest cease. 
And lo ! the waves obeyed thy will, 
Speak to my warring passions, peace! 

Say to my trembling heart — be still. I.

JjJ_ I read my duty in thy Wordj 
But in thy life the law appears 
Drawn out in living characters. 

2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal 
Thy work of mercy to fulfill ; 

Such love, and meekness so divine, 

I would transcribe and make them mine. 

3 Cold mountains and the midnight air 
Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer; 
The desert thy temptations knew, 
Thy conflict and thy victory, too. 

4 Be thou my pattern ; make me bear 
More of thy gracious image here ; 
And at the last, with victory blest, 

Lord, let me find in thee my rest. XL 



RETURN, my roving heart, return, 
And chase these shadowy forms no more; 
0 seek thy better needs to learn, 
For higher goods thy God implore. 

2 0 holy Lord, whose piercing eye 

Distinctly marks each deep recess, 
In these sequestered hours draw nigh, 
And with thy presence fill the place. 

3 Through all the windings of my heart, 

My search let heavenly wisdom guide, 
And still its radiant beams impart, 
Till all be searched and purified. 

4 Then, with the visits of thy love, 

Vouchsafe my inmost soul to cheer, 
Till every grace shall join to prove 

That God has fixed his dwelling there. L

37 T? 0RTY da y s and fort ^ nights 

J_ Thou wast fasting in the wild ; 
Forty days and forty nights 
Tempted, and yet undefiled. 

2 Sunbeams scorching all the day; 
Chilly dew-drops nightly shed; 
Prowling beasts about thy way; 
Stones thy pillow ; earth thy bed. 

3 Shall not we thy sorrow share, 
And from earthly joys abstain, 
Fasting with unceasing prayer, 
Glad with thee to suffer pain ? 

4 And if Satan, vexing sore, 
Flesh or spirit should assail, 
Thou, his Vanquisher before, 
Grant we may not faint or fail. 

48 



5 So shall we have peace divine; 

Holier gladness ours shall be ; 
Round us, too, shall angels shine, 
Such as ministered to thee. 

6 Keep, 0 keep us, Saviour dear, 

Ever constant by thy side, 
That with thee we may appear 
At th' eternal Eastertide. 



WHAT within me and without 
Hourly on my spirit weighs, 
Burdening heart and soul with doubtj 
Darkening all my weary days. 

2 In it I behold thy will, 

Grod, who givest rest and peace; 
And my heart is calm and still, 
Waiting till thou send release. 

3 Yea, on thee, my God, I rest, 

Letting life flow calmly on, 
For I know the last is best, 

When the crown of joy is won. 

4 In thy might all things I bear, 

In thy love find bitter sweet, 
And, with all my grief and care, 
Sit in patience at thy feet. 

5 Let thy mercy's wings be spread 

O'er me — keep me close to thee; 
In the .peace thy love doth shed 
Let me dwell eternally. 

6 Be my all ; in all I do, 

Let me only seek thy will ; 
Where the heart to thee is true, 
All is peaceful, calm, and still.

LORD, as we to thy mercy flee 
And plead to be forgiven, 
So let thy life our pattern be, 
And form our souls for heaven. 

2 Help us, through good report and ill, 

Our daily cross to bear ; 
Like thee, to do our Father's will, 
Our brethren's griefs to share. 

3 Let grace our selfishness expel, 

Our earthliness refine ; 
And kindness in our bosoms dwell, 
As free and true as thine. 

4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly, 

And griefs dark day come on, 
We in our turn would meekly cry, 
" Father, thy will be done." 

5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, 

Forgiving and forgiven; 
0 may we lead the pilgrim's life, 
And follow thee to heaven. IV

Teach us to feel the sins we own, 
And hate what we deplore. 



2 Our broken spirits pitying see, 
True penitence impart ; 
And let a healing ray from thee 
Beam peace into each heart. 



3 When we disclose our wants in prayer, 
. May we our wills resign, 

And not a thought our bosom share 
Which is not wholly thine. 

4 May faith each weak petition fill, 

And waft it to the skies, 
And teach our hearts 't is goodness still 

That grants it or denies. IV.

To arm me for the field.

He makes my soul his care; 
Instructs me in the heavenly fight, 
And guards me through the war.

My fainting hope shall raise; 
He makes the glorious victory mine, 
And his shall be the praise. IV.

How sweet their memory still! 
But they have left an aching void 
The world can never fill.

And drove thee from my breast.

Help me to tear it from thy throne, 
And worship only thee.

TTTHEN, overwhelmed with grief, 
VV My heart within me dies, 
Helpless, and far from all relief 
To heaven I lift mine eyes. 



2 0 lead me to the Rock 

That's high above my head; 
And make the covert of thy wings 
My shelter and my shade. 

3 Within thy presence, Lord, 

Forever I '11 abide : 
Thou art the tower of my defence, 

The refuge where I hide. V.

0 WHERE shall rest be found, 
Rest for the weary soul ? 
'T were vain the ocean's depths to sound, 
Or pierce to either pole. 

2 The world can never give 

The bliss for which we sigh; 
'T is not the whole of life to live, 
Nor all of death to die. 

3 Beyond this vale of tears 

There is a life above, 
Unmeasured by the night of years, 
And all that life is love. 

4 There is a death whose pang 

Outlasts the fleeting breath; 
0 what eternal horrors hang 
Around the second death ! 

5 Thou God of truth and grace, 

Teach us that death to shun, 
Lest we be banished from thy face, 
For evermore undone. 



0 CEASE, my wandering soul, 
On restless wing to roam ; 
All this wide world, to either pole, 
Has not for thee a home. 

2 Behold the ark of God, 

Behold the open door; 
0 haste to gain that dear abode, 
And rove, my soul, no more. 

3 There safe thou 3halt abide, 

There sweet shall be thy rest, 
And every longing satisfied, 

With full salvation blest. V.

\J If onward ye will tread 
With Jesus as your Fellow, 
To Jesus as your Head. 



2 0, happy if ye labor 

As Jesus did for men; 
0, happy if ye hunger, 
As Jesus hungered them 

3 The trials that beset you, 

The sorrows ye endure, 
The manifold temptations 
That death alone can cure, —

What are they but the ladder 
Set up to heaven on earth ?

The crown that Jesus weareth, 
He weareth it for you.

Look upward to the skies, 
Where such a light affliction 
Shall win you such a prize. 



GOD is my strong salvation, 
What foe have I to fear? 
In darkness and temptation 
My light, my help is near. 

2 Though hosts encamp around me, 

Firm to the fight I stand; 
What terror can confound me 
With God at my right hand? 

3 Place on the Lord reliance, 

My soul, with homage wait; 
His truth be thine affiance 
When faint and desolate. 



4 His might thy heart shall strengthen, 
His love thy joy increase ; 
Mercy thy days shall lengthen, 
" The Lord will give thee peace,"

Nor yet because who love thee not 
Mast die eternally. 

2 Thou, 0 my Saviour, thou didst me 

Upon the cross embrace; 
For me didst bear the nails and spear 
And manifold disgrace, 

3 And griefs and torments numberless, 

And sweat of agony; 
Yea, death itself : and all for me 
Who was thine enemy. 

4 Then why, 0 blessed Jesus Christ, 

Should I not love thee well ? 
Not for the hope of winning heaven, 
Nor of escaping hell: 

5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, 

Not seeking a reward, 
But as thyself hast loved me, 
0 ever-loving Lord. 

6 So would I love thee, dearest Lord, 

And in thy praise will sing; 
Solely because thou art my God 

And my eternal King. IV.

0 SINNER, lift the eye of faith, 
To true repentance turning; 
Bethink thee of the curse of sin, 

Its awful guilt discerning. 
Upon the crucified One look, 
And thou shalt read as in a book 
What well is worth thy learning. 



62 



2 Look on his head, that bleeding head, 
With crown of thorns surrounded; 
Look on his sacred hands and feet, 

Which piercing nails have wounded; 
See every limb with scourges rent I 
On him, the just, the innocent, 
What malice hath abounded 1 



3 None ever knew such pain before, 
Such infinite affliction; 
None ever felt a grief like his 

In that dread crucifixion. 
For us he bare those bitter throes, 
For us those agonizing woes, 
In oft-renewed infliction. 



4 0 sinner, mark and ponder well 

The price of thy salvation; 
Behold how unto death he bears 

Thy sorrows, thy temptation. 
The powers of hell are overthrown, 
The Conqueror's arm doth hold them down 

In endless subjugation. 



6 Lord, give us grace to flee from sin 
And Satan's wiles ensnaring, 
And from those everlasting woes 

For evil ones preparing. 
Jesu, we thank thee and entreat 
To rest forever at thy feet, 
Thy heavenly glory sharing.

"V[*OW, my soul, thy voice upraising, 
X\ Tell, in sweet and mournful strain, 
How the Crucified, enduring 

Grief, and wounds, and dying pain, 
Freely of his love was offered, 

Sinless was for sinners slain. 



2 Scourged with unrelenting fury 
For the sins which we deplore, 

By his livid stripes he heals us, 
Raising us to fall no more; 

All our bruises gently soothing, 
Binding up the bleeding sore. 



§ Through his heart the spear is piercing, 
Though his foes have seen him die; 

Blood and water thence are streaming 
In a tide of mystery; 

Water from our sins to cleanse us, 
Blood to win us crowns on high. 



4 Jesu, may those precious fountains 
Drink to thirsting souls afford; 
Let them be our cup and healing, 
And at length our full reward, 
So a ransomed world shall ever 
Praise thee its redeeming Lord.

0 SACRED head, surrounded 
By crown of piercing thorn! 
0 bleeding head, so wounded 
Reviled, and put to scorn! 
0 head once wreathed with glory, 

And bright with shining rays, 
Now mocked and scorned, before thee 
I bow in silent praise. 

2 How art thou pale with anguish, 

With sore abuse and scorn ! 
How does that visage languish 

Which once was bright as morn I 
Thy grief and thy compassion 

Were all for sinners' gain ; 
Mine, mine was the transgression, 

But thine the deadly pain. 



3 What language shall I borrow 

To thank thee, dearest Friendi 
For this thy dying sorrow, 

Thy pity without end 1 
0 grant that I may ever 

Abide, dear Lord, in thee ; 
Nor let e'en death e'er sever 

My faithful soul from thee. 



4 When I depart, be nigh me ; 

0 Lord, go not from me! 
Nor in that hour deny me 

The strength I need from thee. 
Then will I, calm and trustful, 

Yield up to thee my breath, 
Rejoicing, yet not boastful, 

0 happy, happy death !

54 * surve y the wondrous cross 

V V On which the Prince of glory died, 
My richest gain I count but loss, 
And pour contempt on all my pride. 

2 See, from his head, his hands, his feet. 
Sorrow and love flow mingled down; 
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, 
Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 

3 Were the whole realm of nature mine, 
That were a present far too small; 
Love so amazing, so divine, 

Demands my soul, my life, my all. L 



LORD Jesus, when we stand afar 
And gaze upon thy holy cross, 
In love of thee and scorn of self, 
0, may we count the world as loss. 
0 holy Lord, uplifted high 
With outstretched arms, in mortal woe, 
Embracing in thy wondrous love 
The sinful world that lies below, 
Give us an ever-living faith 
To gaze beyond the things we see ; 
And in the mystery of thy death 
Draw us and all men unto thee! L

For love of sinful man he bore 
Our human griefs and troubles sore,

The Lamb who died, his flock to raise 

From sin and everlasting woe; 
With angels round the throne above,

The joys that from his mercy flow.

Without a beam to guide our way, 

Or hope of aught beyond the grave; 
But he hath brought us life and light, 
And opened heaven to our sight, 

And lives forever strong to save.

Upon the Church to pour.

On mystic circle borne 

Of seven times seven revolving days,

At the third hour in prayer, 

A sudden rushing sound proclaimed 
That God himself was there. 

4 Forthwith a tongue of fire

Each heart receives the Father's lightj 
The Word's enkindling glow; 

5 The Holy Ghost on all 
Is mightily outpoured, 

Who straight in divers tongues declare 
The wonders of the Lord.

Flock round from far and near, 

And their own tongue, wherever born, 
All with amazement hear.

Rebukes their unbelief, and wins

And grant us thy true peace instead:

By angel hosts are sung ; 
The church below the voice doth raise 
To join the heavenly throng. 



2 Adored be he who comes to bless 
The nations with his love, 
To show his truth and righteousness, 
And every cloud remove. 



3 Blessed be he who comes to reign 
In Zion's happy land ! 
Jerusalem is built again, 
And shall forever stand. 



No more his kingdom shall decay. 

No more the temple fall ; 
Here Jesus reigns with endless sway, 

The King and Lord of all.

JERUSALEM, arise, 
The heavenly glory view; 
The light is come, lift up thine eyes, 
All things are now made new. 

2 Now ended is the reign 

Of error's gloomy night: 
The Sun of heaven appears again, 
And beams celestial light. 

3 Now living waters flow 

To cheer the humble soul ; 
From sea to sea the rivers go, 
And bless where'er they roll. 

4 Jesus shall rule alone, 

The world shall hear his Word; 
By one blest name shall he be known, 

The universal Lord. V*

J_ From dust, and darkness, and the dead : 
Though humbled long, awake at length, 
And gird thee with thy Saviour's strength. 



2 Put all thy beauteous garments on, 
And let thine excellence be known; 
Decked in the robes of righteousness, 
Thy glories shall the world confess. 

3 No more shall foes unclean invade, 
And fill thy hallowed walls with dread; 
No more shall sin's insulting host 
Their victory and thy sorrows boast. 



4 The Lord on high has heard thy prayer • 
His hand thy ruin shall repair; 
Nor will thy watchful monarch cease 
To guard thee in eternal peace. II.

g]_ ri LORTOUS things of thee are spoken, 
\Jf Zion, city of our God; 
He whose word can not be broken 

Formed thee for his own abode; 
On the Rock of ages founded, 

What can shake thy sure repose? 
With salvation's walls surrounded, 

Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 



2 See, the streams of living waters, 

Springing from eternal love, 
Still supply thy sons and daughters, 

And all fear of want remove: 
Who can faint while such a river 

Ever flows our thirst t' assuage? 
Blessings which, like God, the giver, 

Never fail, from age to age. VIII. 



HEAR what God, the Lord, hath spoken: 
0 mj people, faint and few, 
Comfortless, afflicted, broken, 

Fair abodes I build for you; 
Scenes of heartfelt tribulation 

Shall no more perplex your ways; 
You shall name your walls salvation, 
And your gates shall all be praise. 



2 Ye no more your suns descending, 

Waning moons no more shall see; 
But, your griefs forever ending, 

Find eternal noon in me. 
God shall rise, and, shining o'er you, 

Change to day the gloom of night; 
He, the Lord, shall be your glory, 

God your everlasting light. VIII.

Brighter than the heart can fancy,

Which of thee the prophets sing. 

2 Thou with beauteous stones and polished, 

Wondrously art reared on high, 
Thou with precious gems and crystal, 

Decorated gloriously; 
And with pearls thy portals glitter, 

And with gold thy streets may vie.

Is the feast-day of the Lord; 
All is pure and all is holy 

That within thy walls is stored.

Bridal glory round thee shed, 
Meet for him whose love espoused thee, 

To thy Lord shalt thou be led; 
All thy streets and all thy bulwarks 

Of pure gold are fashioned. 

The two following verses shall be sung only at the dedication of a church, 

3 Come thou now, and be among us, 

Lord and Maker, while we pray ; 
Let thy presence fill the temple 

Which we dedicate to-day, 
And thyself, its consecrator,

But to thee once dedicated, 

Serve thee everlastingly.

Dwelleth evermore with thee;

With sweetness fills the breast; 
But sweeter far thy face to see, 
And in thy presence rest. 

2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame, 

Nor can the memory find 
A sweeter sound than Jesu's name, 
The Saviour of mankind. 

3 0 hope of every contrite heart, 

0 joy of all the meek, 
To those who fall how kind thou alt, 
How good to those who seek ! 

4 But what to those who find ? Ah ! this 

Nor tongue nor pen can show; 
The love of Jesus, what it is 
None but his loved ones know. 

6 Jesu, our only Joy be thou, 
As thou our Prize wilt be; 
In thee be all our glory now 
And through eternity.

OJESU, King most wonderful, 
Thou Conqueror renowned, 
Thou Sweetness most ineffable, 
In whom all joys are found ! 
2 When once thou visitest the heart, 
Then truth begins to shine; 
Then earthly vanities depart, 
Then kindles love divine. 
8 0 Jesu, Light of all below, 
Thou Fount of living fire, 
Surpassing all the joys we know 
And all we can desire. 
4 Jesu. may all confess thy name, 
Thy wondrous love adore; 
And, seeking thee, themselves inflame 
To seek thee more and more. 
6 Thee, Jesu, may our voices bless; 
Thee may we love alone; 
And ever in our lives express 
The image of thine own. 



OJESU, thou the Beauty art 
Of angel-worlds above; 
Thy name is music to the heart, 
Inflaming it with love. 

2 Celestial sweetness unalloyed ! 

Who eat thee, hunger still; 
Who drink of thee still feel a void, 
Which naught but thou can fill. 

3 0 most sweet Jesu, hear the sighs 

Which unto thee we send ; 
To thee our inmost spirit cries, 
To thee our prayers ascend. 

4 Abide with us, and let thy light 

Shine, Lord, on every heart; 
Dispel the darkness of our night, 
And joy to all impart. 

5 Jesu, our Love and Joy, to thee, 

The Father, Spirit, Son, 
All might and praise and glory be 
While endless ages run.

Pure, unbounded love thou art: 
Visit us with thy salvation, 

Enter every waiting heart. 
Breathe, 0 breathe thy Holy Spirit 

Into every troubled breast; 
Let us all thy grace inherit, 
Let us find the promised rest. 



2 Finish, now, thy new creation; 

From our sins 0 set us free: 
May we find thy great salvation 

Come, with healing power, from thee.

Till in heaven we take our place; 
Till we cast our crowns before thee, 

Lost in wonder, love, and praise. VIIL

Come and, by thyself revealing, 

Dissipate the clouds beneath. 
Thou, new heaven and earth's Creator, 

In our deepest darkness rise, 
Scatt'ring all the night of nature, 

Pouring day upon our eyes. 



2 Still we wait for thine appearing ; 

Life and joy thy beams impart, 
Chasing all our fears, and cheering 

Every poor benighted heart. 
Come, thou all-renewing Spirit, 

Ev'ry burdened soul release ; 
Let us here thy grace inherit, 

And in heaven thy perfect peace, VIIL

GOD is the refuge of his saints 
When storms of sharp distress invade; 
Ere we can offer our complaints, 
Behold him present with his aid. 

2 Loud may the troubled ocean roar, 

In sacred peace our souls abide; 
While every nation, every shore, 
Trembles and dreads the swelling tide. 

3 There is a stream, whose gentle flow 

Supplies the city of our God : 
Life, love, and joy still gliding through, 
And watering our divine abode. 

4 That sacred stream, thy holy Word, 

Supports our faith, our fear controls: 
Sweet peace thy promises afford, 

And give new strength to fainting souls. 

5 Zion enjoys her Saviour's love, 

Secure against a threatening hour; 
Nor can her firm foundation move, 

Built on his truth, and armed with power. II.

106 mPHERE is a book, who runs may read, 
X Which heavenly truth imparts, 
And all the lore its scholars need, 
Pure eyes and Christian hearts. 

2 The works of God, above, below, 

Within us and around, 
Are pages in that book to show 
How God himself is found. 

3 The glorious sky, embracing all, 

Is like the Maker's love, 
Wherewith encompassed, great and small 
In peace and order move. 

4 The moon above, the church below, 

A wondrous race they run ; 
But all their radiance, all their glow, 
Each borrows of its Sun. 

5 The Saviour lends the light and heat 

That crown his holy hill ; 
The saints, like stars, around his seat 
Perform their courses still. 

6 Thou, who hast given me eyes to see 

And love this sight so fair, 
Give me a heart to find out thee, 
And read thee everywhere. 

121 




7 mHY Word, 0 Lord, like gentle dews 
_I_ Falls soft on hearts that pine; 
Lord, to thy garden ne'er refuse 

This heavenly balm of thine. 
Refreshed by thee, let every tree 

Bud forth and blossom to thy praise, 
And bear much fruit in after days. 

2 Thy Word is like a flaming sword, 

A wedge that cleaveth stone; 
Keen as a fire, so burns thy Word, 

And pierceth flesh and bone. 
0 send it forth, o 'er all the earth, 

To scatter all the night of sin, 
The darkened heart to cleanse and win. 

3 Thy Word, 0 Lord, a guiding star, 

On pilgrim hearts doth rise; 
Leads those to thee who dwell afar, 

And makes the simple wise. 
Let not its light e'er sink in night, 

But still in every spirit shine, 
That none may miss thy light divine,

WHEN all thy mercies, gracious Lord, 
My rising soul surveys, 
Transported with the view, I'm lost 
In wonder, love, and praise. 

2 Thy Providence my life sustained, 

And all my wants redressed, 
When in the silent womb I lay, 
Or hung upon the breast. 

3 Unnumbered comforts on my soul 

Thy tender care bestowed, 
Before my infant heart conceived 
From whom those comforts flowed. 

4 While in the slippery paths of youth, 

With heedless steps, I ran, 
Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe 
From childhood up to man. 

6 Through every period of my life 
Thy goodness I '11 pursue; 
And after death, in happier worlds, 

The glorious theme renew. IV. 

126 



WHILE thee I seek, protecting Power, 
Be my vain wishes stilled, 
And may this consecrated hour 
With better hopes be filled. 



2 Thy love the power of thought bestowed; 
To thee my thoughts would soar: 
Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed, 
That mercy I adore. 



3 In each event of life, how clear 
Thy ruling hand I see! 
Each blessing to my soul more dear 
Because conferred by thee. 



4 In every joy that crowns my days, 
In every pain I bear. 
My heart shall find delight in praise, 
Or seek relief in prayer. 



6 When gladness wings my favored hour, 
Thy love my thoughts shall fill; 
Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, 
My soul shall meet thy will. 



6 My lifted eye, without a tear, 
The gathering storm shall see; 
My steadfast heart shall know no fear, 
That heart shall rest on thee.

Close around us throng;

Some, with hot desire, 
Set the heart aflame. 
Some, with wiles ensnaring, 

Lure us from the goal; 
Some, with fears despairing, 

Vex the fainting soul. 
Thou alone canst help us 

In our sore distress, 
Who thyself wast tempted 
In the wilderness.

Medicine to cure, 
Who the thorns and scourging 
Didst thyself endure.

Drive them back with loss, 
Who didst triumph o'er them 
On the saving Cross.

VV Saviour, unto thee I cry. 
Dangers every- where attend, 
Let thine arm my soul defend. 

2 Round me troops of foes I see, 
Help can come from none but thee; 
Be my constant strength and stay, 
Guard me in the evil day ! 

3 Thy protecting care I crave, 
Power is thine. 0 Lord, to save; 
Matchless wonders thou hast wrought^ 
Far beyond the reach of thought. 

4 Let thy gracious hand impart 
Strength and comfort to my heart! 
Ever keep me near to thee, 

Till I 'm called thy face to see. 

6 O that home, eternal, blest, 

Where the soul shall find its rest ; 

Lord, till that transporting day, 

Onward lead me in thy way. VL

YV Whose hope is fixed in him always, 
He 'neath th' Almighty's wing abideth 

Safe and unmoved in evil days. 
Who trusts in God's unchanging love, 

Builds on a rock that none can move. 

2 0 man, cease from thy restless yearning, 

And wait in cheerful hope, content 
To take what, his all-wise discerning, 

His perfect love to thee has sent. 
No doubt our inmost wants are known 

To him who calleth us his own. 

3 He knows when best the joyful hour, 

He sends it as he sees it meet; 
When thou hast proved thy spirit's power, 

And art made free from all deceit, 
Then comes he to thee unaware, 

And makes thee own his loving care. 

4 Nor in the heat of pain and striving, 

Think God hath cast thee off unheard; 
And that the man whose worldly thriving 

Thou enviest, is of him preferred. 
Great change the passing time shall bring, 

And set a bound to every thing.

5 Sing, pray, still from his ways unswerving, 
Perform thine own part faithfully, 

Then of his love though undeserving, 
Still shall it be fulfilled in thee. 

God never yet forsook, at need, 
The soul that trusted him indeed.

If thy light on us shine.

If thine in death we be. V.

The brightness of the day, 
The crimson of the sunset sky, 

How fast they fade away! 
0 for the pearly gates of heaven, 

0 for the golden floor, 
0 for the Sun of Righteousness 
That setteth nevermore!

How fast they tire and faint! 
How many a spot defiles the robe 

That wraps an earthly saint ! 
0 for a heart that never sins, 

0 for a soul washed white, 
0 for a voice to praise our King 

In choirs of angels bright ! 



3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope 

And grace to lead us higher; 
But there are perfectness and peaoe 

Beyond our best desire. 
0, by thy love and anguish, Lord, 

And by thy life laid down, 
Grant that we fall not from thy grace 

Nor cast away our crown.

And cast a wishful eye 
To Canaan's fair and happy land, 
Where my possessions lie.

That rises to my sight ! 
Sweet fields arrayed in living green, 
And rivers of delight. 

3 No chilling winds, nor poisonous breath, 

Can reach that healthful shore : 
Sickness and sorrow, pain and deaths 
Are felt and feared no more. 

4 When shall I reach that happy place, 

And be forever blest? 
When shall I see my Father's face, 
And in his mansions rest?

BRIEF life is here our portion; 
Brief sorrow, short-lived care : 
The life that knows no ending, 

The tearless life, is there. 
0 happy retribution ! 

Short toil, eternal rest; 
For mortals and for sinners 
A mansion with the blest. 

3 And now we fight the battle, 

But then shall wear the crown 
Of full and everlasting 
And passionless renown; 

4 And now we watch and struggle, 

And now we live in hope, 
And Sion in her anguish 
With Babylon must cope; 

5 But he whom now we trust in 

Shall then be seen and known ; 
And the}' that know and see him 
Shall have him for their own. 

6 The morning shall awaken, 

The shadows shall decay, 
And each true-hearted servant 
Shall shine as doth the day.

0 cairn of all the blest!

Divinest, sweetest, best.

Yes, calm! for storm is past; 
And goal from finished labor, 
And anchorage at last. 



3 0 happy, holy portion, 
Refection for the blest ! 
True vision of true beauty, 
Sweet cure of all distrest 1 



4 Strive, man, to win that glory! 
Toil, man, to gain that light! 
Send hope before to grasp it, 
Till hope be lost in sight. 



The following may be sung at the end of each Part* 

0 sweet and blessed country, 

The home of God's elect! 
0 sweet and blessed conntry 

That eager hearts expect ! 



Jesu, in mercy bring us 
To that dear land of rest, 

Who art our heavenly Father 
And Saviour ever blest.

FOR thee, 0 dear, dear Country, mine eyes their vigils keep ; 
For very love beholding thy happy name they weep. 
The mention of thy glory is unction to the breast, 
And medicine in sickness, and love, and life, and rest. 
2 0 one, 0 only Mansion! 0 Paradise of joy ! 

Where tears are ever banished and smiles have no alloy; 
With jasper glow thy bulwarks, thy streets with emeralds blaze, 
The sardius and the topaz unite in thee their rays.

Dear fountain of refreshment to pilgrims far away ! 
Upon the Rock of Ages they raise thy holy tower; 
Thine is the victor's laurel, and thine the golden dower.

Beneath thy contemplation sink heart and voice opprest. 
I know not, 0! I know not what joys await us there; 
What radiancy of glory, what bliss beyond compare. 

2 They stand, those halls of Sion, all jubilant with song, 
And bright with many an angel, and all the martyr throng. 
The Prince is ever in them, the daylight is serene; 
The pastures of the blessed are decked in glorious sheen. 



PART III. 

THOU City of the angels, thou City of the Lord, 
Whose everlasting music is e'er in sweet accord; 
Jerusalem, exulting on that securest shore, 
I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee, and love thee evermore. 

2 0 fields that know no sorrow! 0 state that fears no strife! 
0 princely bowers, 0 land of flowers, 0 realm and home of Life! 
There, through the sacred lilies, and flowers on every side, 
The happy ransomed people go wandering far and wide. 



The following may be sung at the end of each Part. 

0 sweet and blessed country, the home of God's elect! 
0 sweet and blessed country that eager hearts expect! 
Jesu, in mercy bring us to that dear land of rest, 
Who art our heavenly Father and Saviour ever blest.

THERE is a land of pure delight, 
Where saints immortal reign; 
Infinite day excludes the night, 
And pleasures banish pain. 

2 There everlasting spring abides, 

And never-withering flowers : 
Death, like a narrow sea, divides 
This heavenly land from ours. 

3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, 

Stand dressed in living green ; 
So to the Jews old Canaan stood. 
While Jordan rolled between. 



170 



4 Oh, could we make our doubts remove, 

Those gloomy doubts that rise, 
And view the Canaan that we love 
With unbeclouded eyes; 

5 Could we but climb where Moses stood, 

And view the landscape o'er, 
Not Jordan's stream nor death's cold flood 

Should fright us from the shore. IV.

Light of light without beginning, 
Shine upon us from afar.

From our souls the dreary night.

That we faint and thirst no more.

To the land where clays unclouded, 

Purest joy, and perfect peace, 
In thy presence never cease.

1M We lift our hearts to God on high; 

That he, in all we do or say, 

Would keep us free from harm to-day. 

2 Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife, 
From anger's din would hide our life: 

From all ill sights would turn our eyes: 
Would close our ears from vanities. 

3 Would keep our inmost conscience pure, 
Our souls from folly would secure ; 
Would bid us check the pride of sense 
With due and holy abstinence. 

4 So we, when this new day is gone, 
And night, in turn, is drawing on, 
With conscience by the world unstained, 

Shall praise his name for victory gained. II, 



AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun 
Thy daily stage of duty run ; 
Shake off dull sloth, and early rise 
To pay thy morning sacrifice. 

2 Glory to thee who safe hast kept 
And hast refreshed me while I slept; 
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, 
I may of endless light partake.

Scatter my sins as morning dew; 
Guard my first springs of thought and will, 
And with thyself my spirit fill. IH. 



Y I^TEW every morning is thy love, 

Xi Our wakening and uprising prove; 
Through sleep and darkness safely brought, 
Restored to life, and power, and thought. 

2 New mercies, each returning day, 
Hover around us while we pray; 
New perils past, new sins forgiven, 

New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 

3 If on our daily course our mind 
Be set to hallow all we find, 

New treasures still, of countless price, 
God will provide for sacrifice. 

4 The trivial round, the common task, 
Will furnish all we need to ask, 
Room to deny ourselves, a road 

To bring us daily nearer God. 

5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love 
Fit us for perfect rest above ; 
And help us, this and every day, 

To live more nearly as we pray. Ill,

Who dost the dawn from darkness bring;

Didst with the new-born light begin ;

And morn with eve didst call them day; 
Thick flows the flood of darkness down:

3 Keep thou our souls from schemes of crime, 

Nor guilt remorseful let them know; 
Nor thinking on the things of time 
Into eternal darkness go.

Teach us the prize of life to win ; 
Teach us all evil to abhor, 

And purify ourselves within. I.

' |>0 It is not night if thou be near; 
Oh ! may no earth-born cloud arise, 
To hide thee from thy servant's eyes. 

2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep 
My wearied eyelids gently steep, 

Be my last thought, how sweet to rest 
With thy divine protection blest. 

3 Abide with me from morn till eve, 
For without thee I can not live ; 
Abide with me when night is nigh, 
For without thee I dare not die. 

4 If some poor wandering child of thine, 
Have spurned, to-day, the voice divine, 
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin, 
Let him no more lie down in sin. 

6 Come near, and bless us when we wake, 
Ere through the world our way we take; 
Till, in the ocean of thy love, 
We lose ourselves in heaven above. IIL

1 64- COVEET Saviour, bless us ere we go; 

Thy word into our minds instill ; 
And make our lukewarm hearts to glow 
With lowly love and fervent will. 

2 The day is gone, its hours have run, 

And thou hast taken count of all, 
The scanty triumphs grace hath won, 
The broken vow, the frequent fall. 

3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways 

True absolution and release; 
And bless us, more than in past days, 
With purity and inward peace. 

4 Do more than pardon; give us joy, 

Sweet fear, and sober liberty, 
And simple hearts without alloy 
That only long to be like thee. 

5 Labor is sweet, for thou hast toiled; 

And care is light, for thou hast cared ; 
Ah ! never let our works be soiled 
With strife, or by deceit ensnared. 

6 For all we love, the poor, the sad, 

The sinful, unto thee we call; 
0 let thy mercy make us glad; 
Thou art our Jesus, and our All.

And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close; 
Sleep, which shall me more vigorous make 
To serve the Lord when I awake. 



3 Be thou my guardian, while I sleep ; 
Thy watchful station near me keep; 
My heart with love celestial fill, 
And guard me from approaching ill. 



4 Lord, let my soul forever share 
The bliss of thy paternal care : 
'T is heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above, 
To see thy face, and feel thy love. III.

Fades upon my sight away; 
Free from care, from labor free.

Naught escapes, without, within, 
Pardon each infirmity, 
Open fault and secret sin.

In the realms of light above, 
Then shall rise my grateful song, 
Praising thy redeeming love. VI. 




BEFORE the ending of the day, 
Creator of the world, we pray 
That with thy wonted favor thou 
Would' st be our guard and keeper now.

From nightly fears and phantasies; 
Tread under foot our ghostly foe, 
That no temptation we may know. III.

1 fi8 rPHE day is gone, and, left alone, 
X I long for that blest morrow 
Which shall set me wholly free 
From all care and sorrow. 

2 The night is here, oh! be thou near, 

With thy bright lamp, 0 Jesus; 
From the night of sin and death 
Speedily release us. 

3 The sweet sunlight fades from my sight; 

Eternal, uncreated 
Sun, break forth, and shine on me, 
Who so long have waited. 

4 Whate'er doth move, below, above, 

Now from its work reposes ; 
Show me, Lord, thy work in me, 
Ere mine eyelid closes. 

5 When shall the day abide alway, 

By night no more succeeded? 
When the day of days arise, 
Where no sun is needed ? 

6 To Salem, then, no more again 

Her sunlight shall be missing; 
For the Lamb shall be her light, 
Her eternal blessing.

7 Oh ! were I there, where all the air 

With lovely sounds is ringing; 
Where sweet choirs are evermore 
Holy, holy, singing !

Oh ! help my poor endeavor ! 
Let me, in thy glorious light, 
Shine before thee ever!

Fold them in thy gracious arm ; 
There we know, thy Word believing, 
Only there secure from harm!

Let them be the lion's prey; 
Let thy tenderness, so loving,

Let them find a resting-place; 
Feed in pastures ever vernal, 
Drink the rivers of thy grace !

\Jf Pilgrim through this barren land 
I am weak, but thou art mighty; 

Hold me with thy powerful hand: 
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, 
Feed me now and evermore. 

2 Open, Lord, the crystal fountain 

Whence the living waters flow; 
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar 

Guide me all my journey through: 
Strong Deliverer, Strong Deliverer, 
Be thou still my Strength and Shield. 

3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, 

Bid my anxious fears subside; 
Bear me through the swelling current, 

Land me safe on Canaan's side: 
Songs of praises, Songs of praises 
I will ever give to thee. 



LEAD us, heavenly Father, lead us 
O'er the world's tempestuous sea; 
Guide us, guard us, keep us, feed us, 

For we have no help but thee ; 
Yet possessing every blessing 
If our God our father be. 

2 Saviour, shed thy mercy o'er us; 

All our weakness thou dost know; 
Thou didst tread the earth before us, 

Thou didst feel its keenest woe : 
Lone and dreary, faint and weary, 

Through the desert thou didst go. 

3 Spirit of our God, descending, 

Fill our hearts with heavenly joy; 
Love with every feeling blending, 

Pleasures that can never cloy. 
Thus provided, pardoned, guided, 

Nothing can our peace destroy.

Mine shall be the balm and healing, 

Thine, 0 Lord, the praise eternal. 

4 Jesu! Bread of all the living, 

Be thy food my soul's salvation ; 
Nor, in sin and unbelieving, 

Changed to bitter condemnation. 
Fed by meat and drink immortal, 

Let me thirst nor hunger never ; 
Safely pass through death's dark portal, 

Lord, to dwell with thee forever.

OD is in his temple, 
Let us fall before him 
And with reverence adore him. 

Lo! our God is present, 
Hushed ail earthly feeling, 
Every heart to him be kneeling. 

To his own, he is known: 
Gaze with eye adoring, 
Self to God restoring. 

194 



2 Lo ! our God is present, 
To whom, morn and even, 
Sing the cherubim in heaven. 

Holy, holy, holy I 
Angel-choirs are singing 
Where the censers bright are swinging. 

Lord, give ear : deign to hear 
Humbler voices praising, 
Songs on earth upraising. 

8 Spirit ever present, 
In whom all are living, 
To all things their substance giving ! 

Sea unfathomed, boundless, 
Mystery amazing ! 
Lo! I fall, in wonder gazing. 

I in thee, thou in me : 
Let me thus but find thee, 
Leaving earth behind me. 

4 Make me simple-hearted, 
Patient, and enduring, 
Safe at rest 'mid earth's alluring. 

Lord, renew my spirit, 
That in truth's uprightness 
I may see thy glory's brightness. 

So let me, up to thee 
As the eagle soaring. 
Live but in adoring. 

6 Lord, come, rest within me, 
All my sins dispelling ; 
Make my soul thy hallowed dwelling. 

There thy glorious presence 
O do not deny me, 
That I, too, may glorify thee. 

Go or rest, I am blest; 
Seeing and believing, 
Thy good gifts receiving.

"VTOW, my tongue, the mystery telling, 
ll Of the glorious body sing, 

And the blood, all price excelling, 

Which the Gentiles' Lord and King, 
In a virgin's womb once dwelling, 
Shed for this world's ransoming. 



2 Given for us, and condescending 

To be bora for us below, 
He, with men in converse blending, 

Dwelt the seed of truth to sow, 
Till he closed, with wondrous ending, 

His most patient life of woe. 



3 That last night at supper, lying 

'Mid the Twelve, his chosen band, 

Jesus, with the law complying, 
Keeps the feast its rites demand ; 

Then, more precious food supplying, 
Gives himself with his own hand. 



4 Word-made flesh true bread he maketb 
By his word his flesh to be; 
Wine his blood, which whoso taketh 

Must from carnal thoughts be free ; 
Faith alone, though sight forsaketh, 
Shows true hearts the mystery. 



5 Therefore we, before him bending, 
This great Sacrament revere; 

Types and shadows have their ending, 
For the newer rite is here ; 

Faith, our outward sense befriending, 
Makes our inward vision clear.

\ V Sped through the former year, 
Many souls their race have run, 

Ne'er more to meet us here. 
Finished now probation's day, 

They have done with all below; 
We a little longer stay, 
How little none can know. 

2 As the winged arrow flies, 

With speed the mark to find, 
As the lightning spans the skies, 

And leaves no trace behind : 
Swiftly thus our fleeting days 

Bear us down life's rapid stream: 
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise ! 

All here is but a dream. 

3 Thanks for blessings past receive! 

Thy mercies now renew ! 
Teach us henceforth how to live 

With heaven and thee in view ! 
More and more thy Word unfold 1 

Fill us with redeeming love, 
And, when life's short tale is told, 

Take us to thee above !

COME, ye thankful people, come, 
Raise the song of Harvest-Home! 
All is safely gathered in 
Ere the winter-storms begin; 
God, our Maker, doth provide 
For our wants to be supplied; 
Come to God's own temple, come, 
Raise the song of Harvest- Home! 



2 What is earth but God's own field, 
Fruit unto his praise to yield? 
Wheat and tares therein are sown, 
Unto joy or sorrow grown; 
Ripening with a wondrous power, 
Till the final Harvest- Hour: 
Grant, 0 Lord of Life, that we 
Holy grain and pure may be. 



3 For we know that thou wilt come, 
And wilt take thy people home ; 
From thy field wilt purge away 
All that doth offend, that day ; 
And thine angels charge at last 
In the fire the tares to cast, 
But the fruitful ears to store 
In thy garner evermore. 



4 Come then, Lord of mercy, come, 
Bid us sing thy Harvest-Home I 
Let thy saints be gathered in, 
Free from sorrow, free from sin; 
All, upon the golden floor, 
Praising thee for evermore: 
Come, with thousand angels, come, 
Bid us sing thy Harvest-Home !

Our God defense and help doth yield 
When heavy ills befall us. 
W T ith ancient bitter hate, 
Such might and cunning great 
As guides no earthly arm, 
Plotting us deadly harm, 
Our foe attempts to enthrall us. 



2 What though, in every path of life, 
A host of fiends endeavor 
To wound us in the deadly strife ? 
Their arts shall triumph never. 
The author of all ill 
May threaten as he will; 
His throne and empire proud, 
But for a time allowed, 
A word shall end forever. 



3 God's testimony standeth sure; 
Whatever man betideth, 
He makes the weakest saint endure 
Who in his grace confideth. 
Though the best gifts of life 
Our foes seize in the strife, 
We cheerful let them go; 
No profit have they so, 
For heaven ours abideth.

OLORD, how happy should we be 
If we could cast our care on thee; 
If we from self could rest, 
And feel at heart that One above, 
In perfect wisdom, perfect love, 
Is working for the best. 



2 How far from this our daily life, 
How oft disturbed by anxious strife, 

By sudden wild alarms! 
0 could we but relinquish all 
Our earthly props, and simply fall 

On thine almighty arms! 



3 Could we but kneel and cast our load, 
E'en while we pray, upon our Godj 

Then rise with lightened cheer, 
Sure that the Father, who is nigh 
To still the famished ravens' cry, 

Will hear in that we fear. 



4 We can not trust him as we should; 
So chafes weak nature's restless mood 

To cast its peace away; 
But birds and flowerets round us preach, 
All, all the present evil teach 

Sufficient for the day. 



5 Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours 
Such lessons learn from birds and flowers 

Make them from self to cease, 
Leave all things to a Father's will, 
And taste — before him lying still, 

E'en in affliction — peace.

And love the souls whom thou dost love.

By day and night their guard to keep, 
To warn the sinner, form the saint, 
To feed thy lambs, and tend thy sheep. 

So, when their work is finished here, 

They may in hope their charge resign; 

So, when their Master shall appear, 

They may with crowns of glory shine. Ill*

Their hearts with love and zeal renew; 
Turn all their weakness into might, 

0 thou the source of life and light. 

3 Spirit of truth, on us bestow 

The faith in all its power to know; 
That with the saints of ages gone, 
And those to come, we may be one. 



4 Protect thy church from every foe, 
And peace, the fruit of love, bestow; 
Convert the world, make all confess 
The glories of thy righteousness. HI.

Then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall: 
As when the dread trumpets went forth at thy word, 
And one long blast shattered the Canaanite's wall. 

3 0 loud be their trump, and stirring their sound, 

To rouse us, 0 Lord, from slumber of sin; 
The lights thou hast kindled in darkness around, 
Oh, may they illumine our spirits within. 

4 All honor, and praise, dominion, and might, 

To Jesus alone eternally be, 
Who round us hath shed his own marvellous light, 
And called us from darkness his glory to see.

XX Who stand on Zion s hill,— 
Who bring salvation on their tongues 
And words of peace reveal! 

2 How charming is their voice, — 

So sweet the tidings are ; 
Zion, behold thy Saviour King; 
He reigns and triumphs here. 

3 How happy are our ears, 

That hear the joyful sound, 
Which kings and prophets waited for, 
And sought, but never found. 

4 How blessed are our eyes, 

That see this heavenly light; 
Prophets and priests desired it long, 
But died without the sight. 

6 The watchmen join their voice, 
And tuneful notes employ; 
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, 
And deserts learn the joy. 

6 The Lord makes bare his arm 
Through all the earth abroad: 
Let every nation now behold 
Their Saviour and their God.

WHEN Christ the Lord would come on earth, 
His messenger before him went; 
The greatest born of mortal birth, 
On high prophetic mission sent. 

2 Yet all that here in worship bend 
Have honor greater far than he ; 

He was the bridegroom's joyful friend, 
His body and his spouse are we. 

3 A higher race, the sons of light, 
Of water and the Spirit born; 
He the last star of parting night, 
And we the children of the morn. 

4 Boldly he spake the heaven-taught word, 
Yet joyed he in the bridegroom's voice; 
So may thy pastors teach, 0 Lord, 

So thy church hearken and rejoice. I.

204 T) RAISE we the Lord tMs da 7» 

X This day so long foretold, 
Whose promise shone with cheering ray 
On waiting saints of old. 

2 The Prophet gave the sign 

For faithful men to read; 
A Virgin, born of David's line, 
Shall bear the promised Seed. 

3 Ask not how this should be, 

But worship and adore; 
Like her, whom heaven's majesty 
Came down to shadow o'er. 

4 Meekly she bowed her head 

To hear the gracious word, 
Mary, the pure and lowly maid, 
The favored of the Lord. 

6 Blessed shall be her name 
In all the Church on earth 
Through whom that wondrous mercy came, 

The Incarnate Saviour's birth. V #

205 "TytTHO are these in bright array 
W This innumerable throng, 
Round the altar night and day 

Hymning one triumphant song? 
Worthy is the Lamb once slain, 

Blessing, honor, glory, power, 
Wisdom, riches to obtain, 
New dominion every hour. 

226 



m\e *§\mt& in gmmn. 



2 These through fiery trials trod, 

These from great affliction came; 
Now before the throne of God, 

Sealed with his almighty name; 
Clad in raiment pure and white, 

Victor palms in every hand — 
Through their dear Redeemer's might, 

More than conquerors they stand. 

3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown, 

On immortal fruits they feed; 
Them the Lamb amid the throne, 

Shall to living fountains lead ; 
Joy and gladness banish sighs, 

Perfect love dispels all fears, 
And forever from their eyes 

God shall wipe away the tears. 



HIGH in yonder realms of light 
Dwell the raptured saints above — 
Far beyond our feeble sight, 
Happy in lmmanuel's love. 
Pilgrims in this vale of tears, 

Once they knew, like us below, 
Gloomy doubts, distressing fears, 
Torturing pain, and heavy woe. 

2 Happy spirits, ye are fled 

Where no grief can entrance find ; 
Lulled to rest the aching head, 

Soothed the anguish of the mind. 
Every tear is wiped away, 

Sighs no more shall heave the breast, 
Night is lost in endless day, 

Sorrow in eternal rest.

Our grateful hymn receive. 



2 For all thy saints, 0 Lord, 
Accept our thankful cry, 
Who counted thee their great reward, 
And strove in thee to die.

With thee, their Lord, in view, 
Learned from thy Holy Spirit's breath 
To suffer and to do.

May follow them in holiness, 

And live and die in thee. V.
